Daniel 2:11-15
New American Standard Bible
King James Version
Chapter 2
11And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh. 12For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. 13And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
11What the king is asking is so difficult that no one can make it known to him except the gods, whose dwelling is not with mortals." 12Because of this, the king became violently angry and gave orders to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. 13The decree was issued that the wise men were to be executed, and they searched for Daniel and his friends, to execute them.New Living Translation
English Standard Version
12Because of this the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.
13So the decree went out, and the wise men were about to be killed; and they sought Daniel and his companions, to kill them.
14Then Daniel replied with prudence and discretion to Arioch, the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon.
15He declared to Arioch, the king’s captain, “Why is the decree of the king so urgent?” Then Arioch made the matter known to Daniel.
