“Daniel answered the king.
‘No wise men,
No enchanters,
No magicians,
No diviners
Can show
To the king
The mystery
That the king
Is asking.’”
Daniel responded to the king that no wise men, enchanters, magicians, or diviners could show the king the answer to the mystery that the king was asking. In other words, there was no human answer. The Chaldean wise men were correct that it was humanly impossible to answer this question, no matter what powers or skills a human had.
