Daniel 2:9
Compare all
7 They answered again and said, “Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will give its interpretation.”
8 The king answered and said, “I know for certain that you would gain time, because you see that my decision is firm:
9 if you do not make known the dream to me, there is only one decree for you! For you have agreed to speak lying and corrupt words before me till the1 time has changed. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can2 give me its interpretation.”  
10 The Chaldeans answered the king, and said, “There is not a man on earth who can tell the king’s matter; therefore no king, lord, or ruler has ever asked such things of any magician, astrologer, or Chaldean.
11 It is a difficult thing that the king requests, and there is no other who can tell it to the king aexcept the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.”  
12 For this reason the king was angry and very furious, and gave the command to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
