Daniel 2:7-9

The Voice

Wise Men: ⁷ Perhaps the king should first tell his servants what he dreamed; then we can tell him what it means.

Nebuchadnezzar: ⁸ It’s obvious to me that you are just buying time, hoping to figure a way out of this, because you can plainly see I will do as I’ve said. ⁹ If you do not tell me what I dreamed, then there can be only one fate for you: death as I have decreed. You have conspired to lie and deceive me until the situation turns around. But it won’t. I will not change my mind. So tell me, right now, what I dreamed. If you can do that, then I will have some assurance that you can tell me what it means.
