And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

Verse 44 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.

Aber zur Zeit solcher Königreiche wird der Gott des Himmels ein Königreich aufrichten, das nimmermehr zerstört wird; und sein Königreich wird auf kein ander Volk kommen. Es wird alle diese Königreiche zermalmen und verstören; aber es selbst wird ewiglich bleiben;
Y en los días de estos reyes, levantará el Dios del cielo un reino que nunca jamás se corromperá: y no será dejado a otro pueblo este reino; el cual desmenuzará y consumirá todos estos reinos, y él permanecerá para siempre.
En los días de esos reyes, el Dios del cielo establecerá un reino que jamás será destruido, y ese reino no será entregado a otro pueblo. Desmenuzará y pondrá fin a todos esos reinos, pero él permanecerá para siempre.
Dans le temps de ces rois, le Dieu des cieux suscitera un royaume qui ne sera jamais détruit, et qui ne passera point sous la domination d'un autre peuple; il brisera et anéantira tous ces royaumes-là, et lui-même subsistera éternellement.
E a’ dì di questi re, l’Iddio del cielo farà sorgere un regno, il quale giammai in eterno non sarà distrutto; e quel regno non sarà lasciato ad un altro popolo; esso triterà, e consumerà tutti que’ regni; ma esso durerà in eterno.
Mas, nos dias desses reis, o Deus do céu levantará um reino que não será jamais destruído; e este reino não passará a outro povo; esmiuçará e consumirá todos esses reinos, mas ele mesmo subsistirá para sempre,
當諸王在位的時候,天上的上帝必另立一個永不敗壞的國度,這國度必不歸給其他百姓,卻要打碎滅絕所有的國度,存立到永遠。
