Tell the dream to your servants, and we will reveal its interpretation." 5 The king answered the Chaldeans, saying, "The command from me is firm: if you do not make the dream and its interpretation known to me, you will be torn limb from limb, and your houses will be turned into rubble. 6 But if you reveal the dream and its interpretation, you will receive gifts, rewards, and great honor from me. So declare the dream and its interpretation to me." 7 They answered again, saying, "Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will reveal its interpretation." 8 The king responded, "I am certain that you are trying to gain time because you see that my command is firm. 9 If you do not make the dream known to me, there is only one decree for you. You have agreed to speak false and corrupt words before me until the situation changes. Therefore, tell me the dream, so that I may know that you can reveal its interpretation." 10 The Chaldeans answered the king, saying, "There is no man on earth who can declare the king's matter.
