Daniel 2:14 DBY

¹²  For this cause the king was irritated and very wroth, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

¹³  And the decree went forth that the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to slay them.

¹⁴  Then Daniel answered with counsel and prudence to Arioch the chief of the king's bodyguard, who had gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:

¹⁵  he answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so rigorous from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

¹⁶  And Daniel went in, and requested of the king that he would give him time, that he might shew the king the interpretation.
