Daniel 2:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ The ·wise men [astrologers; ^LChaldeans] answered the king, saying, “No one on earth can ·do [reveal] what the king asks! No great and powerful king has ever asked the ·magicians [enchanters], ·fortune tellers [diviners], or ·wise men [astrologers; ^LChaldeans] to do this [^Cnormally the dreamer would tell the dream, and the interpreter would interpret it using a dream commentary]; ¹¹ the king is asking something that is too hard. Only the gods could tell the king this, but ·the gods do not live among people [^Ltheir home/dwelling is not with flesh].”

¹² When the king heard their answer, he became very angry. He ordered that all the wise men of Babylon be killed.
