Daniel 2:42

and the toes of the feet, in part of iron, and in part of earth, in part the realm shall be firm, and in part broken. (and like the toes of the feet, were in part made of iron, and in part made of clay, so the kingdom in part shall be firm, or shall be strong, and in part it shall be broken, or shall be weak.)

Wycliffe Modern Spelling

In The King James Version

And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

In Context

41Forsooth that thou sawest a part of the feet, and fingers, ( or toes), of earth, [or clay], of a potter, and a part of iron, the realm shall be parted, (or And that thou sawest that the feet, and the toes, were partly made of the clay of a potter, and partly made of iron, the kingdom shall be divided); which nevertheless shall rise (up out) of the planting of (the) iron, by that that thou sawest iron mingled with a tilestone of clay,

43Forsooth that thou sawest iron mingled with a tilestone of clay, soothly those shall be mingled together with man’s seed; but those shall not cleave to themselves, as iron may not be meddled with tilestone. (And that thou sawest iron mingled with clay, truly people shall mix their seed together, that is, they shall intermarry; but they shall not cleave long to each other, just like iron cannot successfully be mixed with clay.)
