"They again replied,“Let the king inform us of the dream; then we will disclose its interpretation.”"
— Daniel 2:7, NET Bible
“They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it.”
“They answered the second time and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation. ”
“They answered the second time and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.”
“They answered again and said: Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will declare the interpretation of it.”
“A second time they said in answer, Let the king give his servants an account of his dream, and we will make clear the sense.”
“They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it.”
The wise men replied to the king:[What follows is in Aramaic]“O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will disclose its interpretation.”
The king replied to the wise men,“My decision is firm. If you do not inform me of both the dream and its interpretation, you will be dismembered and your homes reduced to rubble!
But if you can disclose the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts, a reward, and considerable honor. So disclose to me the dream and its interpretation!”
They again replied,“Let the king inform us of the dream; then we will disclose its interpretation.”
The king replied,“I know for sure that you are attempting to gain time, because you see that my decision is firm.
If you don’t inform me of the dream, there is only one thing that is going to happen to you. For you have agreed among yourselves to report to me something false and deceitful until such time as things might change. So tell me the dream, and I will have confidence that you can disclose its interpretation.”
The wise men replied to the king,“There is no man on earth who is able to disclose the king’s secret, for no king, regardless of his position and power, has ever requested such a thing from any magician, astrologer, or wise man.
