Daniel 2:10-13

10The Chaldeans answered the king and said, “There is not a man on earth who can tell the king this matter, for no king, lord or ruler has ever asked such a thing as this of any magician or enchanter or Chaldean.

11Furthermore, what the king demands is an unusual and difficult thing indeed! No one except the gods can reveal it to the king, and their dwelling is not with [mortal] flesh.”

12Because of this the king was indignant and extremely furious and gave a command to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

13So the decree went out that the wise men were to be killed; and they looked for Daniel and his companions to put them to death.
