Daniel 6:17-19
New International Reader's Version
17 A stone was brought and placed over the opening of the den. The king sealed it with his own special ring. He also sealed it with the rings of his nobles. Then nothing could be done to help Daniel. 18 The king returned to his palace. He didn’t eat anything that night. He didn’t ask for anything to be brought to him for his enjoyment. And he couldn’t sleep.
19 As soon as the sun began to rise, the king got up. He hurried to the lions’ den.

Daniel 6:17-19
New International Version
17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed(A) it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed. 18 Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating(B) and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep.(C)
19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den.
