Exposition of the Old and New Testament
John Gill (1697–1771) · 18th-century historical commentary

Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, etc.] (see Gill on “<270202>Daniel 2:2”), and I told the dream before them, but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof; because they could not; before they pretended, if the dream was told, they could give the interpretation of it; but now, though it was told, they could not do it; which shows the vanity of their art, the falsehood of their pretensions, and that they were but jugglers and impostors.
