Daniel 2:12 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 2:12

For this cause the king was angry, and very furious
Not only because they could not tell his dream, and the interpretation of it; but because they represented him as requiring a thing unreasonable and impossible, which had never been done by any potentate but himself, and could never be answered but by the gods: this threw him into an excess of wrath and fury; which in those tyrannical and despotic princes was exceeding great and terrible: and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon;
not only those that were now in his presence, but all others; concluding from this instance that they were an useless set of men, yea, deceivers and impostors.

Daniel 2:12 In-Context

10 Os astrólogos responderam ao rei: “Não há homem na terra que possa fazer o que o rei está pedindo! Nenhum rei, por maior e mais poderoso que tenha sido, chegou a pedir uma coisa dessas a nenhum mago, encantador ou astrólogo.
11 O que o rei está pedindo é difícil demais; ninguém pode revelar isso ao rei, senão os deuses, e eles não vivem entre os mortais”.
12 Isso deixou o rei tão irritado e furioso que ele ordenou a execução de todos os sábios da Babilônia.
13 E assim foi emitido o decreto para que fossem mortos os sábios; os encarregados saíram à procura de Daniel e dos seus amigos, para que também fossem mortos.
14 Arioque, o comandante da guarda do rei, já se preparava para matar os sábios da Babilônia, quando Daniel dirigiu-se a ele com sabedoria e bom senso.
