Daniel 2:7 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 2:7

They answered again, and said
Or, a "second" ^F5 time; repeating the same words, having nothing more to say: let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the
interpretation thereof;
the first part was but right and reasonable, though the latter was mere boasting and arrogancy.

Daniel 2:7 In-Context

5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, "The thing is gone from me. If ye will not make known unto me the dream with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

6 But if ye show the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. Therefore show me the dream and the interpretation thereof."

7 They answered again and said, "Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation of it."

8 The king answered and said, "I know with certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.

9 But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you; for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time is changed. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation thereof."
