Daniel 2:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ They responded a second time and said, “Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will explain its meaning.”

⁸ The king answered, “Now I know for sure that you are buying time because you see that my decision is final. ⁹ If you do not make the dream known to me, there is only one decree for you. You have conspired to give me a lying and cheating response until the situation changes. So, tell me the dream, and I will know that you are also able to explain its meaning to me.”
