Daniel 2:10 in context
- 8The king answered, “I know of a certainty that you are trying to gain time, because you see the thing has gone from me.
- 9But if you don’t make known to me the dream, there is but one law for you; for you have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, until the situation changes. Therefore tell me the dream, and I will know that you can show me its interpretation.”
- 10The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, “There is not a man on the earth who can show the king’s matter, because no king, lord, or ruler, has asked such a thing of any magician, or enchanter, or Chaldean.
- 11It is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is no other who can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.”
- 12Because of this, the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.
