Daniel 6:2-7

2and over these, three presidents — of whom Daniel was one — to whom these satrapsH324 should render account, and that the king should suffer no loss.

3Now this DanielH1841 surpassed the presidents and the satrapsH324, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the kingH4430 thought to appoint him over the whole realm.

4ThenH116 the presidents and the satrapsH324 sought to find a pretext against DanielH1841 with respect to the kingdomH4437; but they could not find any pretext or fault; inasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

5ThenH116 said these men, We shall not findH7912 any pretext against this DanielH1841, unless we findH7912 [it] against him touching the law of his 1God.

6ThenH116 these presidents and satraps came in a body to the king, and saidH560 thus unto him: King Darius, live for ever!

7All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satrapsH324, 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 kingH4430, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
