Pies de barro

Feet of clay

Pies de arcilla es una referencia a la interpretación del sueño de Nabucodonosor, Rey de Babilonia, por el profeta Daniel como se relata en el Libro de Daniel: Tú, oh rey, vió, y he aquí una gran imagen. Esta gran imagen, cuyo resplandor era excelente, estaba delante de ti; Y su forma era terrible. La cabeza de esta imagen era de oro fino, su pecho y sus brazos de plata, su vientre y sus muslos de bronce, sus piernas de hierro, sus pies parte de hierro y parte de arcilla. ... Y mientras viste los pies y los pies, parte del barro de alfarero y parte de hierro, el reino será dividido; Pero habrá en ella de la fuerza del hierro, por cuanto has visto el hierro mezclado con arcilla. Y como los dedos de los pies eran parte de hierro y parte de arcilla, así el reino será en parte fuerte y parcialmente roto. Y mientras que tú viste hierro mezclado con arcilla, se mezclarán con la simiente de los hombres; pero no se unirán unos a otros, como el hierro no se mezcla con el barro. La analogía ahora se usa comúnmente para referirse a una debilidad o falla de carácter, especialmente en personas de prominencia.

Feet of clay is a reference to the interpretation of the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, by the prophet Daniel as recounted in the Book of Daniel: Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. ... And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. 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. 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. The analogy is now commonly used to refer to a weakness or character flaw, especially in people of prominence.
