Daniel 6:20-27
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.
25ThenH116 KingH4430 DariusH1868 wroteH3790 to the peopleH5972 of everyH3606 nationH524 and languageH3961 throughoutH1753H3606 the landH772: “May your prosperityH8001 aboundH7680. 26I herebyH7761 decreeH2942 thatH1768 in everyH3606 partH7985 of my kingdomH4437, men are to trembleH2112 in fearH1763H4481 beforeH6925 the GodH426 ofH1768 DanielH1841:
