Daniel 2:12 Context
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. 13And the decree went foorth that the wise men should be slaine, and they sought Daniel and his fellowes to be slaine. 14¶ Then Daniel answered with counsell and wisedome to Arioch the captaine of the Kings guard, which was gone foorth to slay the wise men of Babylon.
