The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye make not known unto me the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
And þe kyng answeride, and seide to Caldeis, Þe word is goen awei fro me; if ye schewen not to me þe dreem, and expownyng þerof, ye schulen perische, and youre housis schulen be forfetid.
