The Chaldeans [03779] answered [06032] before [06925] the king [04430], and said [0560], There is [0383] not [03809] a man [0606] upon [05922] the earth [03007] that can [03202] shew [02324] the king's [04430] matter [04406]: therefore [01768] [06903] there is no [03809] king [04430], lord [07229], nor ruler [07990], that asked [07593] such [01836] things [04406] at any [03606] magician [02749], or astrologer [0826], or Chaldean [03779].
Daniel [01841] answered [06032] in the presence [06925] of the king [04430], and said [0560], The secret [07328] which the king [04430] hath demanded [07593] cannot [03809] [03202] the wise [02445] men, the astrologers [0826], the magicians [02749], the soothsayers [01505], shew [02324] unto the king [04430];
Then [0116] came [05954] in the magicians [02749], the astrologers [0826], the Chaldeans [03779], and the soothsayers [01505]: and I [0576] told [0560] the dream [02493] before [06925] them; but they did not [03809] make known [03046] unto me the interpretation [06591] thereof.
The king [04430] cried [07123] aloud [02429] to bring [05954] in the astrologers [0826], the Chaldeans [03779], and the soothsayers [01505].

And now [03705] the wise [02445] men, the astrologers [0826], have been brought [05954] in before [06925] me, that they should read [07123] this [01836] writing [03792], and make known [03046] unto me the interpretation [06591] thereof: but they could [03546] not [03809] shew [02324] the interpretation [06591] of the thing [04406]:
