29 As for thee, O
king, thy thoughts
came into thy mind
upon thy bed, what
should come to pass
hereafter: and he
that revealeth
secrets maketh
known to thee what
shall come to pass.
 2:31 Thou, O king,
sawest, and behold a
great image.
This great image,
whose brightness
was excellent, stood
before thee;
and the form
thereof was terrible.
2:32 This image's
head was of fine
gold,
his breast and his
arms of silver, his
belly and his thighs
of brass,
33 His legs of
iron,
his feet part of
34 Thou sawest till that a stone
was cut out without hands,
which smote the image
upon his feet that were
of iron and clay, and
brake them to pieces.
35 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
threshing floors;
and the wind carried
them away, that
no place was
found for them:

all nations: and he shall separate them
one from another, as a shepherd
divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his
right hand, but the goats on the left.
 Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King
say unto them on his right hand,
Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit
the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave
me meat:
I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
 36 Naked, and ye clothed me:
I was sick, and ye visited me:
I was in prison, and ye came unto
me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer
him, saying, Lord, when saw we
thee an hungred, and fed thee?
Or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and
took thee in? or naked, and clothed
thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in
prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say
unto them,
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least of
these my brethren, ye have
Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also
unto them on the left hand, Depart
from me, ye cursed, into everlasting
fire, prepared for the devil and his
angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave
me no meat:
I was thirsty, and ye gave me no
drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me
 44 Then shall they also answer him,
saying, Lord, when saw we thee an
hungred,
or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or
sick, or in prison, and did not minister
unto thee?
Matthew 25:45 Then shall he answer
them, saying, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of
the least of these, ye did it not to
me.
46 And these shall go away into
everlasting punishment: but the
righteous into life eternal.

without hands,

revealed belong unto
us and to our children
for ever, that we may
do all the words of
this law.

father; we are the clay, and thou our potter;
and we all are the work of thy hand.

overcometh, and keepeth my works
unto the end, to him will I give power
over the nations:
27 And he shall rule them with a rod
of iron;
as the vessels of a potter shall they
be broken to shivers: even as I
received of my Father.
Psalms 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and
the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the LORD, and against his
anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and
cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh
the Lord shall have them in derision.
 Psalms 2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee
the heathen for thine inheritance, and the
uttermost parts of the earth for thy
possession.

vessel.

instructed, ye judges of the earth.

trembling.

wicked put out! and how oft cometh their
destruction upon them!

children: he rewardeth him, and he shall
know it.
