    11 When Daniel learned that the document had been signed, he went to his house. He had windows in his upstairs room that opened toward Jerusalem, and three times a day he got down on his knees to pray, giving thanks to his God, just as he had always done.

    12 Then these men came as a group and found Daniel petitioning and pleading before his God.

    13 So they approached the king and said, 'Did you not sign a decree that for thirty days, anyone who petitions any god or man except you, O king, will be thrown into the lions’ den?' The king answered, 'The decree stands, in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.'

    14 Then they said to the king, 'Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the decree you signed. He still prays three times a day.'

    15 When the king heard this, he was greatly distressed. He set his mind on rescuing Daniel and worked until sunset to find a way to save him.

    16 Then the men went as a group to the king and said, 'Remember, O king, that according to the law of the Medes and Persians, no decree or edict that the king issues can be changed.'

    17 So the king gave the command, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, 'May your God, whom you continually serve, rescue you!'

    18 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and the rings of his nobles, so that nothing could be changed in regard to Daniel.

    19 Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night fasting. No diversions were brought to him, and he could not sleep.

    20 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den.

    21 When he approached the den, he called out to Daniel with a distressed voice. The king said to Daniel, 'Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you continually serve, been able to rescue you from the lions?'

    22 Then Daniel spoke to the king, 'O king, may you live forever!

    23 My God sent His angel and shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him. Also, I have committed no offense against you, O king.'

    24 At the king’s command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought and thrown into the lions' den, along with their wives and children. Before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.

    25 Then King Darius wrote to all the nations, peoples, and languages who live throughout the earth: 'May your prosperity abound!

    26 I issue a decree that in all my royal dominion, people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. For He is the living God and He endures forever; His kingdom will never be destroyed, and His dominion will have no end.

    27 He rescues and delivers; He performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth, for He rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.'

    28 So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
