Bel and the Dragon 3-5
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
3 Now the Babylonians had an idol called Bel, and every day they provided for it twelve bushels of choice flour and forty sheep and six measures[a] of wine. 4 The king revered it and went every day to worship it. But Daniel worshipped his own God.
So the king said to him, ‘Why do you not worship Bel?’ 5 He answered, ‘Because I do not revere idols made with hands, but the living God, who created heaven and earth and has dominion over all living creatures.’
