Daniel 2:10-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ The wise men answered the king, ‘There is nobody on earth who can know your dream! No king has ever asked anyone to do anything like this. No magician, enchanter or wise man could do that. Even the greatest and most powerful king has never asked anyone to do this. ¹¹ You are asking us to do something much too difficult! Nobody can do it, except the gods. And they do not live among men.’

¹² This made the king very angry. So he said to his soldiers, ‘Kill all the wise men in Babylon.’
