Daniel 2:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 They answered again, and said, Let the king show [a]his servants the dream, and we will declare the interpretation thereof.
8 Then the king answered, and said, I know certainly that ye [b]would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
9 But if ye will not declare me the dream, there is but one judgment for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words, to speak before me till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, that I may know, if ye can declare me the interpretation thereof.
