Daniel 2:9 in Context — Daniel 2
7 Ils répondirent pour la seconde fois: Que le roi dise le songe à ses serviteurs, et nous en donnerons l’explication.
8 Le roi reprit la parole et dit: Je m’aperçois, en vérité, que vous voulez gagner du temps, parce que vous voyez que la chose m’a échappé.
9 Si donc vous ne me faites pas connaître le songe, la même sentence vous enveloppera tous; vous voulez vous préparer à me dire des mensonges et des faussetés, en attendant que les temps soient changés. C’est pourquoi dites-moi le songe, et je saurai si vous êtes capables de m’en donner l’explication.
10 Les Chaldéens répondirent au roi: Il n’est personne sur la terre qui puisse dire ce que demande le roi; aussi jamais roi, quelque grand et puissant qu’il ait été, n’a exigé une pareille chose d’aucun magicien, astrologue ou Chaldéen.
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.
