8The king answered, and said: I know for certain that you seek to gain time, since you know that the thing is gone from me.
8The king answered, and said: I know for certain that you seek to gain time, since you know that the thing is gone from me.
5 And the king answering said to the Chaldeans: The thing is gone out of my mind: unless you tell me the dream, and the meaning thereof, you shall be put to death, and your houses shall be confiscated.
6 But if you tell the dream, and the meaning of it, you shall receive of me rewards, and gifts, and great honour: therefore tell me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
7 They answered again and said: Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will declare the interpretation of it.
8 The king answered, and said: I know for certain that you seek to gain time, since you know that the thing is gone from me.
9 If therefore you tell me not the dream, there is one sentence concerning you, that you have also framed a lying interpretation, and full of deceit, to speak before me till the time pass away. Tell me therefore the dream, that I may know that you also give a true interpretation thereof.
10 Then the Chaldeains answered before the king, and said: There is no man upon earth, that can accomplish thy word, O king, neither doth any king, though great and mighty, ask such a thing of any diviner, or wise man, or Chaldean.

2:8The king answered and said, I know of a certainty that ye would gain time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.

2:8The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
2:8The king answered, I know of a certainty that you would gain time, because you see the thing is gone from me.
2:8The king hath answered and said, 'Of a truth I know that time ye are gaining, because that ye have seen that the thing is gone from me,
2:8The king answered and said, I know of certainty that you would gain the time, because you see the thing is gone from me.
