Daniel 2:7-9
Common English Bible
7 They answered him again: “The king must tell his servants the dream. We will then explain the meaning.”
8 The king replied: “Now I definitely know you are stalling for time, because you see that my decision is final 9 and that if you can’t tell me the dream, your fate is certain. You’ve conspired to make false and lying speeches before me until the situation changes. Tell me the dream now! Then I’ll know you can explain its meaning to me.”

Daniel 2:7-9
New International Version
7 Once more they replied, “Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will interpret it.”
8 Then the king answered, “I am certain that you are trying to gain time, because you realize that this is what I have firmly decided: 9 If you do not tell me the dream, there is only one penalty(A) for you. You have conspired to tell me misleading and wicked things, hoping the situation will change. So then, tell me the dream, and I will know that you can interpret it for me.”(B)
