Daniel 2:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ and that if you can’t tell me the dream, your fate is certain. You’ve conspired to make false and lying speeches before me until the situation changes. Tell me the dream now! Then I’ll know you can explain its meaning to me.”

¹⁰ The Chaldeans answered the king: “No one on earth can do what the king is asking! No king or ruler, no matter how great, has ever asked such a thing of any dream interpreter, enchanter, or Chaldean. ¹¹ What the king is asking is impossible! No one could declare the dream to the king but the gods, who don’t live among mere humans.”
