Daniel 2:8-10
New American Standard Bible 1995
8 The king replied, “I know for certain that you are [a]bargaining for time, inasmuch as you have seen that [b]the command from me is firm, 9 that if you do not make the dream known to me, there is only (A)one [c]decree for you. For you have agreed together to speak lying and corrupt [d]words before me until the [e]situation is changed; therefore tell me the dream, that I may (B)know that you can declare to me its interpretation.” 10 The Chaldeans answered [f]the king and said, “There is not a man on earth who could declare the matter [g]for the king, inasmuch as no great king or ruler has ever asked anything like this of any [h](C)magician, conjurer or Chaldean.
