Daniel 2:8-9

8The king replied, “I know for certain that you are trying to buy time, because you have perceived that the command 1from me is firm,

9that if you do not make the dream known to me, there is only 2one 3decree for you. For you have agreed together to speak lying and corrupt 4words before me until the 5situation is changed; therefore tell me the dream, so that I may 6know that you can declare to me its interpretation.”
