⁹ Therefore do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your ^[a]dreamers, your soothsayers, or your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “You shall not serve the king of Babylon.” ¹⁰ For they prophesy a ^(A)lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and I will drive you out, and you will perish.

²⁷ Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, “The secret which the king has demanded, the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, and the soothsayers cannot declare to the king.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream

So they came and stood before the king.

⁸ Now it came to pass in the morning ^(A)that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all ^(B)the magicians of Egypt and all its ^(C)wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh.
