Daniel 2:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ They answered a second time, “May the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will give the interpretation.”

⁸ The king replied, “I know for certain you are trying to gain some time, because you see that my word is final. ⁹ If you don’t tell me the dream, there is one decree for you.^(A) You have conspired to tell me something false or fraudulent until the situation changes. So tell me the dream and I will know you can give me its interpretation.”
