"And when the decree had gone forth, the wise men were put to death; and Daniel and his companions were sought, to be destroyed."
— Daniel 2:13, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.”
“So the decree went forth, and the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain. ”
“So the decree went forth, and the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.”
“So a decree went out, and the wise men were about to be executed. They also sought Daniel and his friends so that they could be executed.”
“And the decree being gone forth, the wise men were slain: and Daniel and his companions were sought for, to be put to death.”
“So the order went out that the wise men were to be put to death; and they were looking for Daniel and his friends to put them to death.”
“And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.”
Then the Chaldeans answered before the king, and they said, “There is no man on earth who can accomplish your word, O king. For neither has any king, however great and mighty, asked for an answer of this kind from every seer, and astrologer, and Chaldean.
For the answer that you seek, O king, is very difficult. Neither can anyone be found who can reveal it in the sight of the king, except the gods, whose conversation is not with men.”
When he heard this, the king commanded, in fury and in great wrath, that all the wise men of Babylon should be destroyed.
And when the decree had gone forth, the wise men were put to death; and Daniel and his companions were sought, to be destroyed.
Then Daniel inquired, about the law and the sentence, of Arioch, the general of the king’s army, who had gone forth to execute the wise men of Babylon.
And he asked him, who had received the orders of the king, for what reason such a cruel sentence had gone forth from the face of the king. And so, when Arioch had revealed the matter to Daniel,
Daniel went in and asked of the king that he would grant him time to reveal the solution to the king.
