36 This is the dream and we will declare before the king the interpretation thereof. 37 O king thou art a king of kings: for God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power and strength and glory. 38 And in all places where the children of men ⟨p. 15⟩do dwell, the beasts of the fields and fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of God. 39 And after thee shall arise an other kingdom inferior unto thee, of silver. And the third kingdom shall be of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. 40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: for as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things, and as iron bruiseth all, so shall it do. 41 Whereas thou sawest the feet and toes part of potters clay and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided, but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron.
36 This is the dreame and we will declare before the kyng the interpretation therof. 37 O kyng thou art a kyng of kynges: for God of heauen hath geuen thee a kyngdome, power and strength and glory. 38 And in all places where the children of men ⟨p. 15⟩do dwell, the beastes of the fieldes and foules of the heauen hath he geuen into thyne hand, and hath made thee ruler ouer them all. Thou art this head of God. 39 And after thee shall arise an other kingdome inferiour vnto thee, of siluer. And the thyrd kingdome shall be of brasse, which shall beare rule ouer all the earth. 40 And the fourth kyngdome shalbe stronge as yron: for as yrō breaketh in peeces and subdueth all thynges, and as yron bruseth all, so shall it do. 41 Wheras thou sawest the feete and toes parte of potters clay and part of yron, the kyngdome shalbe deuided, but there shalbe in it of ye strength of the yron.
