Daniel 2,31

29 Mens Deres Majestet lå der, vendte ditt sinn seg til ting som skal komme, og åpenbareren av mysterier viste deg hva som skal skje.

30 Når det gjelder meg, er dette mysteriet blitt åpenbart for meg, ikke fordi jeg har større visdom enn noen annen levende, men for at Deres Majestet skal kjenne tolkningen og forstå tankene i ditt sinn.

Deres Majestet så, og der foran deg sto en stor statue—en enorm, blendende statue, imponerende i utseende.

32 Hodet på statuen var laget av fint gull, brystet og armene av sølv, buken og lårene av bronse,

33 bena av jern, og føttene en kombinasjon av jern og leire.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
