Daniel 6:24-28

English Standard Version

²⁴And the king commanded, and ^(A)those men who had maliciously accused Daniel were brought and cast into the den of lions—they, their children, and their wives. And before they reached the bottom of the den, the lions overpowered them and broke all their bones in pieces.

²⁵Then King Darius wrote to all ^(B)the peoples, nations, and languages ^(C)that dwell in all the earth: ^(D)“Peace be multiplied to you. ²⁶^(E)I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion ^(F)people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel,

for ^(G)he is ^(H)the living God,
    enduring forever;
his kingdom shall never be destroyed,
    ^(I)and his dominion shall be ^(J)to the end.
²⁷He delivers and rescues;
    he works ^(K)signs and wonders
    in heaven and on earth,
he who has ^(L)saved Daniel
    from the power of the lions.”
