Nu heb ik voor mij laten ontbieden de verstandigen en wijzen, dat zij dit schrift zouden lezen en mij bekendmaken, wat het beduidt; en zij kunnen mij niet zeggen wat het beduidt.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And now the wise men; the astrologers, have been brought in before me,.... For it seems they came not of themselves, or upon hearing his loud cry; but were sent for by him, and came by his orders, and were introduced into his presence by the proper officers:

that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof; pointing to the writing upon the wall:

but they could not show the interpretation of the thing; nor even read it; though it may be some of them might attempt to read it, and did read it in their way, as well as they could, or at least pretended to read; yet could make no manner of sense of it, which was the thing the king was intent upon.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And now the wise men ... - Daniel 5:7-8.
