The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.(Daniel 2:8)

But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.(Daniel 2:9)

For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.(Daniel 2:12)

And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.(Daniel 2:13)
