The king responded: I am certain that you bargain for time, because you see my command is firm. If you do not tell me my dream, the law will apply to you. You are stalling by speaking lies to me until I change my requirements. Tell me the dream, and I will know that you can show me the interpretation of it. The Chaldeans answered: There is no man on earth who can do what the king requires. No king, lord, or ruler, has asked such a thing of any magician, or enchanter, or Chaldean. It is a rare thing that the king requires. There is no other person who can show it to the king, except the gods, and they do not live with humans. This caused the king to be angry. In fact he became furious! He commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed. So the decree was delivered. The wise men were to be executed. They searched for Daniel and his companions to execute them.
