Daniel 6:4-9

4Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find a pretext against Daniel with respect to the kingdom; but they could not find any pretext or fault; inasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

5Then said these men, We shall not find any pretext against this Daniel, unless we find [it] against him touching the law of his 1God.

6Then these presidents and satraps came in a body to the king, and said thus unto him: King Darius, live for ever!

7All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satraps, the counsellors, and the governors have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any 2god or man for thirty days, except of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

8Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked.

9Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
