Daniel 6:11-13
New American Standard Bible
11 Then these men came [a](A)by agreement and found Daniel offering a prayer and imploring favor before his God. 12 Then they approached and (B)spoke before the king about the king’s injunction: “Did you not sign an injunction that any person who offers a prayer to any god or person besides you, O king, for thirty days, is to be thrown into the lions’ den?” The king replied, “The statement is true, according to the (C)law of the Medes and Persians, which [b]may not be revoked.” 13 Then they responded and spoke before the king, “(D)Daniel, who is one of the [c]exiles from Judah, pays (E)no attention to you, O king, or to the injunction which you signed, but keeps offering his prayer three times a day.”
