7 Then all the fortunetellers, magicians, wizards, and astrologers were brought in, and I told them my dream, but they could not explain it to me.

Daniel 4:7 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 4:7

Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans,
and the soothsayers (See Gill on Daniel 2:2), and I told the dream before them, but they did not make known unto
me the interpretation thereof;
because they could not; before they pretended, if the dream was told, they could give the interpretation of it; but now, though it was told, they could not do it; which shows the vanity of their art, the falsehood of their pretensions, and that they were but jugglers and impostors.

Daniel 4:7 In-Context

5 But I had a frightening dream and saw terrifying visions while I was asleep.

6 I ordered all the royal advisers in Babylon to be brought to me so that they could tell me what the dream meant.

7 Then all the fortunetellers, magicians, wizards, and astrologers were brought in, and I told them my dream, but they could not explain it to me.

8 Then Daniel came in. (He is also called Belteshazzar, after the name of my god.) The spirit of the holy gods is in him, so I told him what I had dreamed. I said to him:

9 Belteshazzar, chief of the fortunetellers, I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that you understand all mysteries. This is my dream. Tell me what it means.
