12For the which cause the king was wroth with great indignation, & commaunded to destroy al the wise men at Babylon.
13So the decree went foorth, and the wise men were slayne: they sought also to slay Daniel, with his companions.
14Then Daniel stayed the counsell and decree with Arioch the captayne of the kinges garde, who was gone foorth to put to death the wise men of Babylon.
15He aunswered and sayde vnto Arioch the kinges captayne: why is the sentence so hastie from the king? Then Arioch tolde Daniel the matter.
16Upon this went Daniel, and desired the king that he woulde geue him leysure, and that he would shewe the king the interpretation.
17Then Daniel went to his house, and shewed the thing to Ananias, Misael, and Azarias, his companions:
18That they shoulde beseche the God of heauen for grace in this secrete, that Daniel and his felowes, with other such as were wyse in Babylon, perished not.
19Then was the secrete reuealed vnto Daniel in a vision by night: then Daniel praysed the God of heauen.
