Daniel 2:8-10

Darby Translation

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.

¹⁰ The Chaldeans answered before the king and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter; therefore there is no king, however great and powerful, that hath asked such a thing of any scribe, or magician, or Chaldean.
