³And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and ^bmy spirit was troubled to know the dream. ⁴Then spake ^fthe Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, ^*^ggO king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation. ⁵The king answered and said to ^fthe Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall ^hbe ^†cut in pieces, and ^hⁱyour houses shall be made a dunghill. ⁶But ^kif ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me ^lgifts and ^||rewards and great honour: ^mtherefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof. ⁷They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it. ⁸The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would ^†ⁿgain the time, ⁿⁿbecause ye see the thing is gone from me. ⁹But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, ^othere is but one decree for you: for ye have ^pprepared lying and ^qcorrupt words to speak before me, ⁿtill the time be changed: ^mtherefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.
