Daniel 6:4-9

4ThenH116 the presidents and the satrapsH324 sought to find occasion against DanielH1841 as touching the kingdomH4437; but they could find no occasion nor fault, forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him. 5ThenH116 said these men, We shall not findH7912 any occasion against this DanielH1841, except we findH7912 it against him concerningH5922 the law of his God. 6ThenH116 these presidents and satraps assembled together to the king, and saidH560 thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever. 7All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satrapsH324, the counsellors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O kingH4430, he shall be cast into the den of lions. 8Now, O kingH4430, establishH6966 the interdict, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, accordingH4481 to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. 9Wherefore kingH4430 Darius signedH7560 the writing and the interdict.
