16 Then the king commanded, and Daniel was brought and cast into the den of lions. The king declared[a] to Daniel, “May (B)your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!” 17 (C)And a stone was brought and laid on the mouth of the den, (D)and the king sealed it (E)with his own signet and with the signet of his (F)lords, that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.
