Daniel 2:2-13

2Then the kingH4428 commandedH559 to callH7121 the magiciansH2748, and the enchanters, and the sorcerersH3784, and the ChaldeansH3778, for to tellH5046 the kingH4428 his dreamsH2472. SoH7121 they cameH935 in and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.

3And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto them, I have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and my spiritH7307 is troubledH6470 to knowH3045 the dreamH2472.

4Then spake the ChaldeansH3778 to the kingH4428 in the Syrian language, O kingH4428, liveH2418 for everH5957: tellH1696 thy servantsH5649 the dreamH2493, and we will shew the interpretationH6591.

5The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560 to the ChaldeansH3779, The thingH4406 is gone from me: ifH2006 ye makeH3046 notH3809 knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493 and the interpretationH6591 thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your housesH1005 shall be madeH3046 a dunghill.

6But ifH2006 ye shew the dreamH2493 and the interpretationH6591 thereof, ye shall receiveH6902 of meH6925 giftsH4978 and rewardsH5023 and greatH7690 honour: therefore shew meH6925 the dreamH2493 and the interpretationH6591 thereof.

7They answeredH6032 the secondH8579 time and saidH560, Let the kingH4430 tellH560 his servantsH5649 the dreamH2493, and we will shew the interpretationH6591.

8The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560, I knowH3046 of a certain that ye would gain time, becauseH6903 ye seeH2370 the thingH4406 is gone from me.

9But ifH2006 ye makeH3046 notH3809 knownH3046 unto meH6925 the dreamH2493, there is but one lawH1882 for youH1768: for ye have prepared lying and corruptH7844 wordsH4406 to speakH560 beforeH6925 meH6925, till the time be changedH8133: therefore tellH560 meH6925 the dreamH2493, and I shall knowH3046 that ye canH1768 shew meH6925 the interpretationH6591 thereof.

10The ChaldeansH3779 answeredH6032 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, and saidH560, There is notH3809 a manH606 upon the earthH3007 that canH1768 shew the king’sH4430 matterH4406: forasmuch as noH3809 kingH4430, lord, norH3809 rulerH7990, hath askedH7593 suchH1836 a thingH4406 of anyH3606 magicianH2749, or enchanter, or ChaldeanH3779.

11And it is a rare thingH4406 that the kingH4430 requireth, and there is none otherH321 that canH1768 shew it beforeH6925 the kingH4430, exceptH3861 the godsH426, whoseH1768 dwellingH4070 is notH3809 with fleshH1321.

12For this cause the kingH4430 was angryH1149 and veryH7690 furiousH7108, and commandedH560 to destroyH7 allH3606 the wiseH2445 menH2445 of BabylonH895.

13So the decreeH1882 wentH5312 forthH5312, and the wiseH2445 menH2445 were to be slainH6992; and they sought DanielH1841 and his companions to be slainH6992.
