Daniel 2:11

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.

KJV

Sermo enim, quem tu quæris, rex, gravis est : nec reperietur quisquam qui indicet illum in conspectu regis, exceptis diis, quorum non est cum hominibus conversatio.

Vulgate

καὶ ὁ λόγος ὃν ζητεῖς, βασιλεῦ, βαρύς ἐστι καὶ ἐπίδοξος, καὶ οὐδείς ἐστιν ὃς δηλώσει ταῦτα τῷ βασιλεῖ, εἰ μή τι ἄγγελος, οὗ οὐκ ἔστι κατοικητήριον μετὰ πάσης σαρκός· ὅθεν οὐκ ἐνδέχεται γενέσθαι καθάπερ οἴει.

LXX

And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is no other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
