Daniel 2:10-13

10The ChaldeansH3779 answeredH6032 1the kingH4430 and saidH560, “ThereH383 isH383 noH3809 personH606 on earthH3007 whoH1768 couldH3202 declareH2331 the matterH4406 2to the kingH4430, becauseH6903H1768 noH3606H3809 greatH7229 kingH4430 or rulerH7990 has ever askedH7593 anythingH4406 like thisH1836 of anyH3606 3soothsayerH2749 priestH2749, sorcererH826, or ChaldeanH3779. 11Moreover, the thingH4406 whichH1768 the kingH4430 demandsH7593 is difficultH3358, and thereH383 isH383 noH3809 oneH321 elseH321 whoH1768 could declareH2331 it 4to the kingH4430 exceptH3861 5godsH426, whoseH1768 6dwellingH4070 placeH4094 is not with mortal fleshH1321.”

12BecauseH6903 of thisH1836, the kingH4430 becameH1149 7angryH1149 and extremelyH7690 furiousH7108, and he gaveH560 ordersH560 to killH7 allH3606 the wiseH2445 menH2445 of BabylonH895. 13So the 8decreeH1882 was issuedH5312 that the wiseH2445 menH2445 be killedH6992; and they lookedH1156 forH1156 9DanielH1841 and his friendsH2269, to 10killH6992 them.
