Bel and the Dragon 9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ Daniel said to the king,“That’s fair enough.”

Now Bel had seventy priests plus their wives and children. ¹⁰ The king went with Daniel to Bel’s temple. ¹¹ Bel’s priests said, “We’re going outside now. Your Majesty, you set out the food and mix the wine. Lock the door and seal it with your own seal. Early tomorrow, if you don’t find that Bel has eaten everything, you can kill us. Otherwise, kill Daniel for lying about us!”
