And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
What you're asking for is literally impossible, no one can do this except the gods, and they don't exactly live down here with us regular people.

📚 Historical Context
In the book of Daniel, set during the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC, King Nebuchadnezzar demands that his wise men not only interpret his mysterious dream but also reveal its content, a task they consider impossible for any human. The wise men, including magicians and astrologers, admit that only the gods could perform such a feat, but these gods do not dwell among people, highlighting the limitations of pagan practices. This narrative underscores the contrast between human wisdom and divine revelation.
