Daniel 2:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Then the king commanded to call the enchanters, and the astrologians, and the sorcerers, and the [a]Chaldeans for to show the king his dreams: so they came and stood before the King.
3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in the [b]Aramite’s language, O king, live forever: show thy servants thy dream, and we shall show the interpretation.
