This

Thou
sawest* till that a
stone was cut
out without hands, which
smote the
image upon his

iron and
clay, and
brake them to
pieces.

Then was the
iron, the
clay, the
brass, the
silver, and the
gold, broken to
pieces together, and
became like the
chaff of the
summer threshingfloors; and the
wind carried them away,
that no place was
found for them: and the
stone that
smote the
image became a
great mountain, and
filled the
whole earth.

And the

And whereas thou
