    17And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords, so that the purpose concerning Daniel might not be changed.

    18Then the king went to his palace, and spent the night fasting; neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep went from him.

    19Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.

    20And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice to Daniel: and the king spoke and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?

    21Then Daniel said to the king, O king, live forever.

    22My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions' mouths, so that they have not hurt me: because innocence was found in me before him; and also before you, O king, have I done no harm.

    23Then the king was exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no harm was found upon him because he believed in his God.

    24And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions overpowered them and broke all their bones in pieces before they came to the bottom of the den.

    25Then king Darius wrote to all people, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied to you.

    26I make a decree, that in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and steadfast forever, and his kingdom that shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be until the end.

    27He delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

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

    4Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no occasion or fault, because he was faithful, and no error or fault was found in him.

    5Then these men said, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.

    6Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus to him, King Darius, live forever.

    7All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counselors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.

    8Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be altered.

    9Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

    10Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he knelt on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.

    11Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.

    12Then they came near and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree; Have you not signed a decree, that every man who shall ask a petition of any god or man within thirty days, except of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be altered.

    13Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, does not regard you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.

    14Then the king, when he heard these words, was greatly displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he labored till the going down of the sun to deliver him.

    15Then these men assembled to the king, and said to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is that no decree or statute which the king establishes may be changed.
