Daniel 2:10-12

Context

2:10 The wise men replied to the king, “There is no man on earth who is able to disclose the king’s secret, 1  for no king, regardless of his position and power, has ever requested such a thing from any magician, astrologer, or wise man. 2:11 What the king is asking is too difficult, and no one exists who can disclose it to the king, except for the gods – but they don’t live among mortals!” 2 

2:12 Because of this the king got furiously angry 3  and gave orders to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
