Daniel 2:7-9

Darby Translation

⁷ They answered the second time and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.

⁸ The king answered and said, I know of a certainty that ye would gain time, because ye see the word is gone forth from me;

⁹ but if ye do not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you; for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me its interpretation.
