dn26:9.1 Then a certain man approached the newly anointed aristocrat king and said,
dn26:9.2 ‘Please Your Majesty, you should know that the heavenly wheel-treasure has vanished.’
dn26:9.3 At that the king was unhappy and experienced unhappiness.
dn26:9.4 But he didn’t go to the royal seer and ask about the noble duty of a wheel-turning monarch.
dn26:9.5 He just governed the country according to his own ideas.
dn26:9.6 So governed, the country’s people did not prosper like before, as they had when former kings proceeded in the noble duty of a wheel-turning monarch.
dn26:9.7 Then the ministers and councillors, the treasurers and chief ministers, military officers, guardsmen, and professional advisers gathered and said to the king,
dn26:9.8 ‘Your Majesty, when governed according to your own ideas, the country’s people do not prosper like before, as they did when former kings proceeded in the noble duty of a wheel-turning monarch.
dn26:9.9 In your realm are found ministers and councillors, treasurers and chief ministers, military officers, guardsmen, and professional advisers—both ourselves and others—who remember the noble duty of a wheel-turning monarch.
dn26:9.10 Please, Your Majesty, ask us about the noble duty of a wheel-turning monarch.
dn26:9.11 We will answer you.’
