And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

Verse 43 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 daß du gesehen hast Eisen und Ton vermengt: werden sie sich wohl nach Menschengeblüt untereinander mengen, aber sie werden doch nicht aneinander halten, gleichwie sich Eisen und Ton nicht mengen läßt.
Cuanto a aquello que viste, el hierro mezclado con tiesto de barro, mezclaranse con simiente humana, mas no se pegarán el uno con el otro, como el hierro no se mistura con el tiesto.
En cuanto al hierro que viste mezclado con barro arcilloso, se mezclarán mediante descendencia humana, pero no se unirán el uno con el otro, así como el hierro no se mezcla con el barro cocido.
Tu as vu le fer mêlé avec l'argile, parce qu'ils se mêleront par des alliances humaines; mais ils ne seront point unis l'un à l'autre, de même que le fer ne s'allie point avec l'argile.
E quant’è a ciò che tu hai veduto il ferro mescolato con l’argilla di vasellaio, ciò significa che coloro si mescoleranno per seme umano, ma non potranno unirsi l’un con l’altro; siccome il ferro non può mescolarsi con l’argilla.
Quanto ao que viste do ferro misturado com barro de lodo, misturar-se-ão com semente humana, mas não se ligarão um ao outro, assim como o ferro não se mistura com o barro.
你既看見鐵和泥攙雜,他們必有混雜的後裔,卻不能彼此相合,正如鐵和泥不能相合。
