“Everyone has feet of clay.” The saying is an idiom. We don’t take the saying literally, but it means everyone has weaknesses. The “feet of clay” idiom comes from a dream of the king of the world at the time, Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, in Daniel 2:32-33: “The head of this image was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its middle and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.” That king’s “feet of clay” were exposed by his pride which resulted in foolish and ungodly decisions that finally led to a mental illness in Daniel 4.
