Daniel 2:9-13 That, if, the dream, ye shall not make known to me, one and the same, is the decree, and, a lying and wicked word, have ye agreed to speak before me, that meanwhile the time may be changed,––therefore, the dream, tell ye me, so shall I know that, the interpretation thereof, ye can declare for me.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ That, if, the dream, ye shall not make known to me, one and the same, is the decree, and, a lying and wicked word, have ye agreed to speak before me, that meanwhile the time may be changed,––therefore, the dream, tell ye me, so shall I know that, the interpretation thereof, ye can declare for me. ¹⁰ The Chaldeans answered before the king and said, There is not a man upon the earth, who can declare, the matter of the king,––although indeed, there is no king, chief ruler who, a thing like this, hath asked of any sacred scribe or magician or Chaldean; ¹¹ and, the thing which the king hath asked, is difficult, and, none other, is there, who can declare it before the king,––saving the gods whose dwelling is, not with flesh. ¹² For this cause, the king, was provoked and exceedingly indignant,––and gave word to destroy all the wise men of Babylon; ¹³ and, the decree, went forth, that, the wise men, should be slain,––and they sought Daniel and his companions that they might be slain.
