Daniel 6:16-24

16SoH116 the kingH4430 gave the orderH560, and they broughtH858 DanielH1841 and threw himH7412 into the denH1358 ofH1768 lionsH744.

The kingH4430H560 saidH6032 to DanielH1841, “May your GodH426, whomH1768 youH607 serveH6399 continuallyH8411H1932, deliver youH7804!”

17AH2298 stoneH69 was broughtH858 and placedH7761 overH5922 the mouthH6433 of the denH1358, and the kingH4430 sealed itH2857 with his own signet ringH5824 and with the ringsH5824 of his noblesH7261, so thatH1768 nothingH3809H6640 concerning DanielH1841 could be changedH8133.

18ThenH116 the kingH4430 wentH236 to his palaceH1965 and spent the nightH956 fastingH2908. NoH3809 entertainmentH1761 was broughtH5954 before himH6925, and sleepH8139 fledH5075 from himH5922.

At the first lightH5053 of dawnH8238, the kingH4430 got upH6966 and hurriedH927H236 to the denH1358 ofH1768 lionsH744. 20When he reachedH7127 the denH1358, he cried outH2200 in a voiceH7032 of anguishH6088, “O DanielH1841, servantH5649 of the livingH2417 GodH426, has your GodH426, whomH1768 youH607 serveH6399 continuallyH8411, been ableH3202 to deliver youH7804 fromH4481 the lionsH744?”

21ThenH116 DanielH1841 repliedH4449, “O kingH4430, may you liveH2418 foreverH5957! 22My GodH426 sentH7972 His angelH4398 and shutH5463 the mouthsH6433 of the lionsH744. They have notH3809 hurt meH2255H3606, forH6903H1768 I was foundH7912 innocentH2136 in His sightH6925, andH638 I have doneH5648 noH3809 wrongH2248 against youH6925, O kingH4430.”

The kingH4430 was overjoyedH7690H2868H5922 and gave ordersH560 to liftH5559 DanielH1841 out ofH4481 the denH1358, and when DanielH1841 was liftedH5559 out ofH4481 the denH1358, noH3809 wounds whatsoeverH2257 were foundH7912 on him, becauseH1768 he had trustedH540 in his GodH426.

24At the commandH560 of the kingH4430, theH479 menH1400 whoH1768 had falsely accusedH399H7170H1768 DanielH1841 were broughtH858 and thrownH7412 into the denH1358 of lionsH744—theyH581 and their childrenH1123 and wivesH5389. And beforeH3809 they had reachedH4291 the bottomH773 of the denH1358, the lionsH744 overpoweredH7981 them and crushedH1855 allH3606 their bonesH1635.
