Daniel 2:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ Again the wise men said to the king, “Tell us, your servants, the dream, and we will tell you what it means.”

⁸ King Nebuchadnezzar answered, “I know you are trying to get more time, because you know that I meant what I said. ⁹ If you don’t tell me my dream, you will be punished. You have all agreed to tell me lies and wicked things, hoping things will change. Now, tell me the dream so that I will know you can tell me what it really means!”
