Daniel 2:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰ The Chaldeans answered the king directly, “There’s not a single man on earth who can do^[a] what the king has commanded. No king, lord, or ruler has ever asked such a thing from any diviner, enchanter,^[b] or Chaldean. ¹¹ Furthermore, what the king is asking is so difficult that no one can reveal it except the gods—and they don’t live with human beings.”

¹² At this point, the king flew into a rage^[c] and issued an order to destroy all the advisors^[d] of Babylon.
