3ThenthisDanielwaspreferredabove thepresidents andprinces,because anexcellentspirit was in him; and thekingthought toset himover thewhole realm.
4Then thepresidents andprincessought tofindoccasion againstDanielconcerning thekingdom;but theycouldfindnoneoccasionnorfault;forasmuch as he wasfaithful,neither was thereanyerror orfaultfound in him.
5Thensaidthesemen, We shallnotfindanyoccasionagainstthisDaniel,except wefind it against him concerning thelaw of his God.
6Thenthesepresidents andprinces assembledtogether to theking, andsaidthus untohim,KingDarius,live for ever.
7All thepresidents of thekingdom, thegovernors, and theprinces, thecounsellors, and thecaptains, have consultedtogether toestablish aroyalstatute, and to make afirmdecree, that whosoever shallask apetitionofanyGod ormanforthirtydays,save ofthee, Oking, he shall becast into theden of lions.
8Now, Oking,establish thedecree, andsign thewriting, that it benotchanged, according to thelaw of theMedes andPersians, whichaltereth not.
9WhereforekingDariussigned thewriting and the decree.
10 Now whenDanielknew that thewriting wassigned, hewent into hishouse; and hiswindows beingopen in hischambertowardJerusalem, hekneeledupon hiskneesthreetimes aday, andprayed, and gavethanksbefore hisGod,as hedidaforetime.
11Thenthesemenassembled, andfoundDanielpraying and makingsupplicationbefore his God.
12Then they camenear, andspakebefore thekingconcerning theking'sdecree; Hast thounotsigned adecree, thateveryman that shallask a petitionofanyGod ormanwithinthirtydays,save ofthee, Oking, shall becast into theden oflions? Thekinganswered andsaid, Thething istrue, according to thelaw of theMedes andPersians, whichaltereth not.
13Thenanswered they andsaidbefore theking, ThatDaniel, which isof thechildren of thecaptivity ofJudah,regardethnotthee, Oking, nor thedecree that thou hastsigned, butmaketh hispetitionthreetimes a day.
14Then theking, when heheard thesewords, wassoredispleased with himself, andset hisheartonDaniel todeliver him: and helabouredtill the goingdown of thesun to deliver him.
15Thenthesemenassembledunto theking, andsaid unto theking,Know, Oking, that thelaw of theMedes andPersians is, Thatnodecree norstatute which thekingestablisheth may be changed.
16Then thekingcommanded, and theybroughtDaniel, andcast him into theden oflions. Now thekingspake andsaid untoDaniel, ThyGod whomthouservestcontinually, he will deliver thee.
17 Andastone wasbrought, andlaidupon themouth of theden; and thekingsealed it with his ownsignet, and with thesignet of hislords; that thepurpose mightnot bechanged concerning Daniel.
18Then thekingwent to hispalace, and passed thenightfasting:neither wereinstruments of musickbroughtbefore him: and hissleepwent from him.
19Then thekingarose veryearly in themorning, andwent inhaste unto theden of lions.
20 And when hecame to theden, hecried with alamentablevoice untoDaniel: and thekingspake andsaid toDaniel, ODaniel,servant of thelivingGod, is thyGod, whom thouservestcontinually,able todeliver theefrom the lions?
21ThensaidDanielunto theking, Oking,live for ever.
22 MyGod hathsent hisangel, and hathshut thelions'mouths, that they havenothurt me: forasmuchasbefore himinnocency wasfound in me; andalsobefore thee, Oking, have Idoneno hurt.
23Then was thekingexceedingglad forhim, andcommanded that they shouldtakeDanielup outof theden. SoDaniel was takenup outof theden, andnomanner ofhurt wasfound upon him, because hebelieved in his God.
24 And thekingcommanded, and theybroughtthosemen which hadaccusedDaniel, and theycast them into theden oflions,them, theirchildren, and theirwives; and thelions had themastery of them, andbrakeall theirbones inpieces orever theycame at thebottom of the den.
25ThenkingDariuswrote untoallpeople,nations, andlanguages, thatdwell inall theearth;Peace be multiplied unto you.
26Imake adecree, That ineverydominion of mykingdom mentremble andfearbefore theGod ofDaniel: for he is thelivingGod, andstedfast forever, and hiskingdom that which shallnot bedestroyed, and hisdominion shall be evenunto the end.
27 Hedelivereth andrescueth, and heworkethsigns andwonders inheaven and inearth, who hathdeliveredDanielfrom thepower of the lions.
28 SothisDanielprospered in thereign ofDarius, and in thereign ofCyrus the Persian.
