And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 11 of Daniel. The vision begins by recalling heavenly support received during the reign of Darius and then describes a succession of Persian rulers and the emergence of a powerful Greek king. The rapid fragmentation of that power after reaching its greatest extent continues Daniel’s pattern: kingdoms may conquer enormous territories, but their duration and stability are limited.

Und wenn er aufs Höchste gekommen ist, wird sein Reich zerbrechen und sich in alle vier Winde des Himmels zerteilen, nicht auf seine Nachkommen, auch nicht mit solcher Macht, wie sie gewesen ist; denn sein Reich wird ausgerottet und Fremden zuteil werden.
Pero cuando estará enseñoreado, será quebrantado su reino, y repartido por los cuatro vientos del cielo; y no a sus descendientes, ni según el señorío con que él se enseñoreó: porque su reino será arrancado, y para otros fuera de aquellos.
Et lorsqu'il se sera élevé, son royaume se brisera et sera divisé vers les quatre vents des cieux; il n'appartiendra pas à ses descendants, et il ne sera pas aussi puissant qu'il était, car il sera déchiré, et il passera à d'autres qu'à eux.
Ma tosto ch’egli sarà sorto, il suo regno sarà rotto, e sarà diviso per li quattro venti del cielo, e non alla sua progenie; e quello non sarà pari all’imperio che esso avrà posseduto; perciocchè il suo regno sarà stirpato, e sarà di altri, oltre a coloro
Mas, estando ele em pé, o seu reino será quebrado, e será repartido para os quatro ventos do céu; mas não para a sua posteridade, nem tampouco segundo o seu domínio com que reinou, porque o seu reino será arrancado, e passará a outros que não eles.
他正興起的時候,他的國必瓦解,向天的四方 裂開,卻不歸他的後裔,也不如他當年統治的權威;他的國必被拔出,歸給他後裔之外的人。
