KJV ORIGINAL
But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
But if you won't tell me what I dreamed, there's only one outcome for you. You're just trying to buy time with fake explanations, hoping I'll forget about this whole thing. So tell me the dream first, and then I'll know you can actually interpret it.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
King Nebuchadnezzar basically said 'prove you're legit by telling me what I dreamed, not just what it means.'
