Daniel 2:10

Therefore [the] Chaldees answered before the king, and said, King, no man is on earth that may [ful] fill thy word; but neither any great man and mighty of kings asketh such a word of any (false) diviner, and astronomer, and of a man of Chaldea. (And so the Chaldeans answered the king, and said, O king, there is no one on earth who can fulfill thy request; nor would any great king, or mighty man, ask such a request of any fortune-teller, or astrologer, or a man of Chaldea.)

In The King James Version
