Daniel2:27
27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded, cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the sooth-sayers shew unto the king, .
He reckons up here all sorts of divination, to shew that divine things, and the secrets of God, cannot be comprehended by man without special Revelation; and that those who presume to do it arrogate too much to themselves, and that it is too Tyrannical to require it of any, and that upon pain of death; for saith Daniel they cannot do it.
