Daniel 2:7 WBT

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

⁶  But if ye shall show the dream, and the interpretation of it, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honor: therefore show me the dream, and the interpretation of it.

⁷  They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show 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.

⁹  But if ye will not make known to me the dream, [there is but] one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation of it.
