Bel and the Dragon 28-30

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁸ When the Babylonians heard about it, they were very indignant and conspired against the king, saying, ‘The king has become a Jew; he has destroyed Bel, and killed the dragon, and slaughtered the priests.’ ²⁹ Going to the king, they said, ‘Hand Daniel over to us, or else we will kill you and your household.’ ³⁰ The king saw that they were pressing him hard, and under compulsion he handed Daniel over to them.
