The Dream And The King's Search For An Interpreter

5 A dream, I saw, and it made me afraid, - and, fancies upon my bed, and visions of my head, terrified me. 6 Therefore made I a decree, to bring in before me, all the wise men of Babylon, - who, the interpretation of the dream, should make known to me. 7 Then came in the sacred scribes, the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers, - and, the dream, told I before them, but, the interpretation, could they not make known to me.
