Daniel laughed and said, “Don’t be taken in, Your Majesty! This is clay on the inside and brass on the outside. It hasn’t eaten or drunk anything, ever!”
And Daniel laughed and said, “Do not be deceived, O king, for this thing is only clay inside and bronze outside, and it has never eaten or drunk anything.”
And Daniel said laughing, King, err thou not; for why this Bel is (made) of clay within, and of brass withoutforth, and eateth not, (neither drinketh), any time. [And Daniel laughing saith, King, err thou not; this is withinforth of clay, and withoutforth of brass, neither eateth any time, neither drinketh.]
