Daniel 2:10-12

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁰ The Chaldeans answered the king. They said, “There is not a man on earth who can do what the king is asking! No king has ever asked the wise men, the men who do magic, or the Chaldeans to do something like this. Not even the greatest and most powerful king has ever asked his wise men to do such a thing. ¹¹ The king is asking something that is too hard to do. Only the gods could tell the king his dream and what it means. But the gods don’t live with people.”

¹² When the king heard that, he became very angry. So he gave an order for all the wise men of Babylon to be killed.
