Daniel 2:7-9

21st Century King James Version

⁷ They answered again and said, “Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation of it.”

⁸ The king answered and said, “I know with certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.

⁹ But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you; for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time is changed. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation thereof.”
