Daniel 2:9 in Context — Daniel 2

7 Responderam pela segunda vez, e disseram: Diga o rei o sonho a seus servos, e mostraremos sua interpretação.

8 O rei respondeu, e disse: Eu bem sei que vós quereis ganhar tempo; porque sabeis que minha decisão é firme.

9 Pois se não me mostrardes o sonho, haverá uma única sentença para vós. Pois preparastes uma resposta mentirosa e perversa para dizer diante de mim, até que o tempo se mude; portanto, dizei-me o sonho, para que eu tenha certeza de que podeis me mostrar sua interpretação.

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.
