Daniel 2:10 Context
8The King answered, and said, I know of certeinty that ye would gaine the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me. 9But if yee will not make knowen vnto me the dreame, there is but one decree for you: for ye haue prepared lying, and corrupt words to speake before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dreame, and I shall know that yee can shewe mee the interpretation thereof. 10¶ The Caldeans answered before the King, and said, There is not a man vpon the earth that can shew the kings matter: therefore there is no King, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any Magician, or Astrologer, or Caldean. 11And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the King, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh. 12For this cause the King was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
