Bel and the Dragon 19-21

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁹ But Daniel laughed and restrained the king from going in. ‘Look at the floor’, he said, ‘and notice whose footprints these are.’ ²⁰ The king said, ‘I see the footprints of men and women and children.’

²¹ Then the king was enraged, and he arrested the priests and their wives and children. They showed him the secret doors through which they used to enter to consume what was on the table.
