Daniel 2:10-13

10The Chaldeans answered the king saying, “There is no man on earth who can meet the king’s demand. For no great king, however great or mighty, has ever asked such a thing from any magician, astrologer or Chaldean.

11What the king asks is too difficult. There is no one who could declare it to the king, except the gods whose dwelling is not with mortals!”

12Because of this, the king became furiously angry and gave orders to execute all the wise men of Babylon.

13So the decree went out that the wise men were about to be slaughtered. They also sought Daniel and his companions to execute them.
