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 be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 2 of Daniel. The Babylonian wise men acknowledge that the king’s request exceeds their abilities and describe the demand as extraordinarily difficult. Their inability leads to a sentence against all the wise men, including Daniel and his companions. Literarily, the scene pushes the tension to an extreme point so that God’s later intervention cannot be attributed to human skill or coincidence.

Aber werdet ihr mir nicht den Traum sagen, so geht das Recht über euch, als die ihr Lügen und Gedichte vor mir zu reden euch vorgenommen habt, bis die Zeit vorübergehe. Darum so sagt mir den Traum, so kann ich merken, daß ihr auch die Deutung trefft.
Si no me mostráis el sueño, una sola sentencia será de vosotros. Ciertamente preparáis respuesta mentirosa y perversa que decir delante de mí, entre tanto que se muda el tiempo: por tanto, decidme el sueño, para que yo entienda que me podéis mostrar su declaración.
Si no me dan a conocer el sueño, una sola sentencia habrá para ustedes. Se han puesto de acuerdo para decirme palabras falsas y perversas hasta que cambie la situación. Por eso, díganme el sueño y sabré que pueden darme a conocer su interpretación».
Si donc vous ne me faites pas connaître le songe, la même sentence vous enveloppera tous; vous voulez vous préparer à me dire des mensonges et des faussetés, en attendant que les temps soient changés. C'est pourquoi dites-moi le songe, et je saurai si vous êtes capables de m'en donner l'explication.
Che se voi non mi dichiarate il sogno, vi è una sola sentenza per voi. Or voi vi eravate preparati a dire in mia presenza alcuna cosa falsa, e perversa, finchè il tempo fosse mutato; perciò, ditemi il sogno, ed io conoscerò che voi me ne dichiarerete l’interpretazione.
De modo que, se não me fizerdes saber o sonho, uma só sentença será a vossa; pois vós preparastes palavras mentirosas e perversas para as proferirdes na minha presença, até que se mude o tempo; portanto dizei-me o sonho, para que eu entenda que me podeis dar a sua interpretação.
你們若不將夢告訴我,只有一個辦法對待你們;因為你們彼此串通,向我胡言亂語,要等候情勢改變。現在,你們要將夢告訴我,讓我知道你們真能為我解夢。」
