Daniel 2:12 in Context — Daniel 2

10 Os caldeus responderam diante do rei, e disseram: Ninguém há sobre a terra que possa mostrar a palavra do rei; pois nenhum rei, príncipe, nem governante, jamais exigiu coisa semelhante a algum mago, astrólogo, ou caldeu.

11 Pois a coisa que o rei exige é tão difícil que não há quem a possa revelar diante do rei, a não ser os deuses, cuja morada não é entre a raça humana.

12 Por isso o rei se irou muito e se enfureceu; então mandou matar a todos os sábios da Babilônia.

13 E publicou-se o decreto, e os sábios foram condenados à morte; e buscaram a Daniel e a seus companheiros para serem mortos.

14 Então Daniel falou de forma cautelosa e prudente a Arioque, capitão dos da guarda do rei, que tinha saído para matar os sábios de Babilônia.
