But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for [any] wisdom that I have more than any living, but for [their] sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.

This image's head [was] of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
