And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

Verse 39 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.

Nach dir wird ein anderes Königreich aufkommen, geringer denn deins. Darnach das dritte Königreich, das ehern ist, welches wird über alle Lande herrschen.
Y después de ti se levantará otro reino menor que tú; y otro tercer reino de metal, el cual se enseñoreará de toda la tierra.
Después de ti se levantará otro reino, inferior a ti, y luego un tercer reino, de bronce, que gobernará sobre toda la tierra.
Après toi, il s'élèvera un autre royaume, moindre que le tien; puis un troisième royaume, qui sera d'airain, et qui dominera sur toute la terre.
E dopo te sorgerà un altro regno, più basso del tuo; e poi anche un terzo regno, ch’è quel del rame, il quale signoreggerà sopra tutta la terra.
E depois de ti se levantará outro reino, inferior ao teu; e um terceiro reino, de bronze, o qual dominará sobre toda a terra.
在你以後必興起另一國,不及於你;又有第三國如銅,必掌管全地。
