Daniel 2:4-7
4Then the ChaldeansH3778 spokeH1696 to the kingH4428 in 12AramaicH762: “3O kingH4430, liveH2418 foreverH5957! 4TellH560 the dreamH2493 to your servantsH5649, and we will declareH2331 the interpretationH6591.”
5The kingH4430 repliedH6032 to the ChaldeansH3779, “The commandH4406 5from me is firmH230: ifH2006 you do not makeH3046 knownH3046 to me the dreamH2493 and its interpretationH6591, you will be 67tornH5648 limbH1917 from limb and your housesH1005 will be turnedH7761 into a rubbishH5122 heapH5122.
6But ifH2006 you declareH2331 the dreamH2493 and its interpretationH6591, you will receiveH6902 from me 8giftsH4978 and a rewardH5023 and greatH7690 honorH3367; thereforeH3861 declareH2331 to me the dreamH2493 and its interpretationH6591.”
7They answeredH6032 a secondH8579 timeH8579 and saidH560, “Let the kingH4430 9tellH560 the dreamH2493 to his servantsH5649, and we will declareH2331 the interpretationH6591.”
