Daniel 2:13 in Context — Daniel 2
11 Ce que le roi demande est difficile; il n’y a personne qui puisse le dire au roi, excepté les dieux, dont la demeure n’est pas parmi les hommes.
12 Là-dessus le roi se mit en colère, et s’irrita violemment. Il ordonna qu’on fasse périr tous les sages de Babylone.
13 La sentence fut publiée, les sages étaient mis à mort, et l’on cherchait Daniel et ses compagnons pour les faire périr.
14 Alors Daniel s’adressa d’une manière prudente et sensée à Arjoc, chef des gardes du roi, qui était sorti pour mettre à mort les sages de Babylone.
15 Il prit la parole et dit à Arjoc, commandant du roi: Pourquoi la sentence du roi est-elle si sévère? Arjoc exposa la chose à Daniel.
