Daniel 2:11 in context

  1. 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.”
  2. 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.
  3. 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.”
  4. 12Because of this, the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.
  5. 13So the decree went out, and the wise men were to be slain. They sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.
