Daniel 6:24-28
New International Version
24 At the king’s command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought in and thrown into the lions’ den,(A) along with their wives and children.(B) And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.(C)
25 Then King Darius wrote to all the nations and peoples of every language(D) in all the earth:
“May you prosper greatly!(E)
26 “I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence(F) the God of Daniel.(G)
“For he is the living God(H)
and he endures forever;(I)
his kingdom will not be destroyed,
his dominion will never end.(J)
27 He rescues and he saves;(K)
he performs signs and wonders(L)
in the heavens and on the earth.
He has rescued Daniel
from the power of the lions.”(M)
28 So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus[a](N) the Persian.(O)

King James Version
24 And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.
25 Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
26 I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
27 He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
