And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.

Verse 38 is found in chapter 2 of Daniel. Daniel interprets the different parts of the statue as successive kingdoms and culminates with a kingdom established by God that will never be destroyed. The interpretation is not simply intended to satisfy the king’s curiosity about future events; it redefines sovereignty. Political power may dominate for a season, but God’s rule transcends imperial succession and ultimately replaces every human dominion.

und alles, da Leute wohnen, dazu die Tiere auf dem Felde und die Vögel unter dem Himmel in deine Hände gegeben und dir über alles Gewalt verliehen hat. Du bist das goldene Haupt.
Y todo lo que habitan hijos de hombres, bestias del campo, y aves del cielo, él ha entregado en tu mano, y te ha hecho enseñorear sobre todo: tú eres aquella cabeza de oro.
il a remis entre tes mains, en quelque lieu qu'ils habitent, les enfants des hommes, les bêtes des champs et les oiseaux du ciel, et il t'a fait dominer sur eux tous: c'est toi qui es la tête d'or.
E dovunque dimorano i figliuoli degli uomini, le bestie della campagna, e gli uccelli del cielo, egli te li ha dati in mano, e ti ha fatto signore sopra essi tutti. Tu sei quel capo d’oro.
E onde quer que habitem os filhos de homens, na tua mão entregou os animais do campo, e as aves do céu, e fez que reinasse sobre todos eles; tu és a cabeça de ouro.
世人和走獸,並天空的飛鳥,不論居住何處,他都交在你的手中,令你掌管這一切。你就是那金的頭。
