Daniel 2:7-9

7They responded a second time, saying, “Let the king tell his servants the dream and we will declare the interpretation.”

8The king replied saying, “I know for sure that you are buying time since you see that I have firmly decreed

9that if you do not reveal the dream to me, there is only one verdict for you. You have conspired to say something false and fraudulent, until such a time as things might change. So then, tell me the dream and I will know that you can tell me its meaning.”
