In context
10 The Chaldeans answered before the king and said, There is not a man upon the earth, who can declare, the matter of the king,—although indeed, there is no king, chief ruler who, a thing like this, hath asked of any sacred scribe or magician or Chaldean;
11 and, the thing which the king hath asked, is difficult, and, none other, is there, who can declare it before the king,—saving the gods whose dwelling is, not with flesh.
12 For this cause, the king, was provoked and exceedingly indignant,—and gave word to destroy all the wise men of Babylon;
13 and, the decree, went forth, that, the wise men, should be slain,—and they sought Daniel and his companions that they might be slain.
14 Immediately, Daniel, made answer with prudence and discretion, to Arioch, chief of the executioners of the king,—who had come forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:
15 he began to speak and said to Arioch the king’s captain,—For what cause, is the decree raging forth from before the king? Then did Arioch make the matter known unto Daniel.
16 So Daniel entered in, and desired of the king,—that, an appointed time, he would give him, and then, the interpretation, he would declare unto the king.
