Daniel

Daniel 2:10–11

¹⁰The astrologers answered the king, “No one on earth can do what the king requests! No king, however great and powerful, has ever asked anything like this of any magician, enchanter, or astrologer. ¹¹What the king requests is so difficult that no one can tell it to him except the gods, whose dwelling is not with mortals.”
