Bel and the Dragon 3-5
Common English Bible
3 Now the Babylonians had an idol named Bel. Each day they supplied it with twelve bushels of fine flour, forty sheep, and sixty gallons[a] of wine. 4 The king honored Bel and worshipped it daily, but Daniel worshipped his own God. So the king said to him, “Why don’t you worship Bel?”
5 He said, “I don’t honor idols made by humans, rather the living God who created heaven and earth and has authority over all living things.”
