And the Fourth Kingdom shall be strong asiron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces andsubdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh allthese, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes,part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdomshall be divided; but there shall be in it ofthe strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawestthe iron mixed with miry clay.

And as the toes of the feet were part of iron,and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partlystrong and partly broken.
