Daniel 2:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ They answered him again: “The king must tell his servants the dream. We will then explain the meaning.”

⁸ The king replied: “Now I definitely know you are stalling for time, because you see that my decision is final 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.”
