10. They answered the king, "There isn't a man on earth who can do what you are asking! No king has ever asked for anything like that. Not even a king as great and mighty as you has asked for it. Those who get knowledge by using magic have never been asked to do what you are asking. And those who study the heavens haven't been asked to do it either.
11. What you are asking is much too hard. No one can tell you what you dreamed except the gods. And they don't live among human beings."
12. That made the king very angry. He ordered that all of the wise men in Babylon be put to death.
13. So the order was given to kill them. Men were sent out to look for Daniel and his friends. They were also supposed to be put to death.
