Verse 9
Daniel 2:9
New King James Version
9
But if ye will not make known unto me the dream,
there is but
one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.

English Translation
For behold, a dream will not be revealed to me; it is a secret matter and the interpretation thereof is corrupt and they have invited for saying before me until the time changes for them, a dream they told to me and I know that its interpretation will be revealed to me.
