King James Version

Daniel 2:35

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 threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

Brenton’s Septuagint (1851), English

Then once for all the earthenware, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold, were ground to powder, and became as chaff from the summer threshingfloor; and the violence of the wind carried them away, and no place was found for them: and the stone which had smitten the image became a great mountain, and filled all the earth.

Septuagint (Brenton’s Greek, 1851)

Τότε ἐλεπτύνθησαν εἰσάπαξ τὸ ὄστρακον, ὁ σίδηρος, ὁ χαλκὸς, ὁ ἄργυρος, ὁ χρυσός· καὶ ἐγένετο ὡσεὶ κονιορτὸς ἀπὸ ἅλωνος θερινῆς· καὶ ἐξῇρεν αὐτὰ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ πνεύματος, καὶ τόπος οὐχ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς· καὶ ὁ λίθος ὁ πατάξας τὴν εἰκόνα, ἐγενήθη ὄρος μέγα, καὶ ἐπλήρωσε πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.
