Daniel 2:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰ The wise men answered the king, saying, “No one on earth can do what the king asks! No great and powerful king has ever asked the fortune-tellers, magicians, or wise men to do this; 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.”

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