And the Chaldeans spoke to the king in the Syrian language, [saying], O king, live forever: tell the dream to your servants, and we will declare the interpretation.

If then you do not tell me the dream, I know that you have conspired to utter before me a false and corrupt tale, until the time has past: now tell me my dream, and I shall know that you will also declare to me its interpretation.

If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, leave not your place; for soothing will put an end to great offenses.
