Daniel 2:6

⁴  Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.

⁵  The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

⁶  But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.

⁷  They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it.

⁸  The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
