Daniel 2:10-13

10The Chaldeans answered the king and said, "There is not a man on earth who can meet the king's demand, for no great and powerful king has asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or Chaldean.

11The thing that the king asks is difficult, and no one can show it to the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh."

12Because of this the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.

13So the decree went out, and the wise men were about to be killed; and they sought Daniel and his companions, to kill them.
