Daniel 2:14-16

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁴ Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch, the king’s chief steward, who had gone forth to put to death the wise men of Babel.

¹⁵ “Yea,” he answered and said to Arioch, the king’s captain, “Why is the sentence so severe from the king?” Then Arioch explained it to Daniel.

¹⁶ So Daniel went and asked the king if he would give him time to show the king the interpretation thereof.
