    And just as you saw that the feet and toes were made partly of fired clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom, yet some of the strength of iron will be in it—just as you saw the iron mixed with clay.

    As you saw the iron mixed with clay, so the peoples will mix with one another but will not hold together any more than iron mixes with clay.

    Here: "The mud" or "mire". Together with the previous word it means clay made from mud, which is where the KJV's "miry clay" comes from. The gloss "common" in the supplied data looks like an error.
