Daniel 6:17-20

English Standard Version

^17 (A)And a stone was brought and laid on the mouth of the den, ^(B)and the king sealed it ^(C)with his own signet and with the signet of his ^(D)lords, that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel. ¹⁸ Then the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting; ^(E)no diversions were brought to him, and ^(F)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 ^(G)the living God, ^(H)has your God, whom you serve continually, ^(I)been able to deliver you from the lions?”
