Jones, Erasmus W., 1817-

"The Young Captives: A Story of Judah and Babylon"

Thou art
this head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to
thee; and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over the
earth. And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, forasmuch as iron
breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things; and as iron that breaketh all
these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. And whereas thou sawest the
feet and toes, part of potter's clay and part of iron, the kingdom shall
be divided, but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron;
forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with clay, so the kingdom shall
be partly strong and partly broken. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed
with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but
they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with
clay. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a
kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and this kingdom shall not be
left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these
kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
