3 And the spirit of Egypt must become bewildered in the midst of it,+ and I shall confuse its own counsel.+ And they will be certain to resort to the valueless gods+ and to the charmers and to the spirit mediums* and to the professional foretellers of events.+

13 You have grown weary with the multitude of your counselors.* Let them stand up, now, and save you, the worshipers* of the heavens, the lookers at the stars,*+ those giving out knowledge at the new moons concerning the things that will come upon you.*

10 The Chal·deʹans answered before the king, and they were saying: “There does not exist a man on the dry land that is able to show the matter of the king, forasmuch as no grand king or governor has asked such a thing as this of any magic-practicing priest or conjurer or Chal·deʹan.

27 Daniel was answering before the king and saying: “The secret that the king himself is asking, the wise men, the conjurers, the magic-practicing priests [and] the astrologers themselves are unable to show to the king.+

7 “At that time the magic-practicing priests, the conjurers, the Chal·deʹans+ and the astrologers+ were entering; and I was saying before them what the dream was, but its interpretation they were not making known to me.+

7 The king was calling out loudly to bring in the conjurers, the Chal·deʹans and the astrologers.+ The king was answering and saying to the wise men of Babylon: “Any man that will read this writing and show me its very interpretation, with purple he will be clothed,+ with a necklace of gold about his neck, and as the third one in the kingdom he will rule.”+
