10. Formal Translation The Chaldeans answered the king and said, "There is no person on earth who can disclose the king’s matter; for no king, however great and powerful, has ever requested such a thing from any magician or enchanter or Chaldean." |
10. Dynamic Translation The Chaldeans replied to the king, "No one on earth is able to reveal the king’s request. No ruler, however great and mighty, has ever sought such information from any magician, enchanter, or Chaldean." |
