Daniel 6:13-22
English Standard Version
13 Then they answered and said before the king, (A)“Daniel, who is one (B)of the exiles (C)from Judah, (D)pays no attention to you, O king, or (E)the injunction you have signed, but makes his petition (F)three times a day.”
14 Then (G)the king, when he heard these words, (H)was much distressed and set his mind to deliver Daniel. And he labored till the sun went down to rescue him. 15 Then these men came by agreement to the king and said to the king, “Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no (I)injunction or ordinance that the king establishes can be changed.”
16 Then the king commanded, and Daniel was brought and cast into the den of lions. The king declared[a] to Daniel, “May (J)your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!” 17 (K)And a stone was brought and laid on the mouth of the den, (L)and the king sealed it (M)with his own signet and with the signet of his (N)lords, that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel. 18 Then the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting; (O)no diversions were brought to him, and (P)sleep fled from him.
19 Then, at break of day, the king arose and went in haste to the den of lions. 20 As he came near to the den where Daniel was, he cried out in a tone of anguish. The king declared to Daniel, “O Daniel, servant of (Q)the living God, (R)has your God, whom you serve continually, (S)been able to deliver you from the lions?” 21 Then Daniel said to the king, (T)“O king, live forever! 22 My God (U)sent his angel (V)and shut the lions' mouths, and they have not harmed me, because I was found blameless (W)before him; (X)and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.”
