King James Bible
"They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it."
The wise men repeat their request, showing persistence in their reasonable demand. This repetition highlights their growing desperation as they face an impossible task—interpreting a dream without being told its content. The magicians appeal to standard protocol where rulers would share their dreams before receiving interpretation. Their use of 'servants' emphasizes proper court hierarchy while subtly reminding Nebuchadnezzar of established custom. The wise men confidently promise to fulfill their traditional role if given normal conditions. This assertion reveals their reliance on conventional methods of dream interpretation rather than genuine supernatural insight.
