Daniel 2:40 in Context — Daniel 2

38 il a remis entre tes mains, en quelque lieu qu’ils habitent, les enfants des hommes, les bêtes des champs et les oiseaux du ciel, et il t’a fait dominer sur eux tous: c’est toi qui es la tête d’or.

39 Après toi, il s’élèvera un autre royaume, moindre que le tien; puis un troisième royaume, qui sera d’airain, et qui dominera sur toute la terre.

40 Il y aura un quatrième royaume, fort comme du fer; de même que le fer brise et rompt tout, il brisera et rompra tout, comme le fer qui met tout en pièces.

41 Et comme tu as vu les pieds et les orteils en partie d’argile de potier et en partie de fer, ce royaume sera divisé; mais il y aura en lui quelque chose de la force du fer, parce que tu as vu le fer mêlé avec l’argile.

42 Et comme les doigts des pieds étaient en partie de fer et en partie d’argile, ce royaume sera en partie fort et en partie fragile.
