2 So the king gave the order to summon the magic-practicing priests, the conjurers, the sorcerers, and the Chal·deʹans* to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.+

7 “At that time the magic-practicing priests, the conjurers, the Chal·deʹans,* and the astrologers+ came in. When I told them what the dream was, they could not make its interpretation known to me.+

8 Then all the wise men of the king came in, but they were not able to read the writing or to make known the interpretation to the king.+
