Daniel 2:14 YLT

¹²  Therefore the king hath been angry and very wroth, and hath said to destroy all the wise men of Babylon;

¹³  And the sentence hath gone forth, and the wise men are being slain, and they have sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.

¹⁴  Then Daniel hath replied 'with' counsel and discretion to Arioch chief of the executioners of the king, who hath gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon.

¹⁵  He hath answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, 'Wherefore 'is' the sentence so urgent from before the king?' Then Arioch hath made the thing known to Daniel,

¹⁶  and Daniel hath gone up, and sought of the king that he would give him time to shew the interpretation to the king.
