16ThenH116 the kingH4430 gaveH560 ordersH560, and DanielH1841 was broughtH858 in and 1castH7412 into the lions’H744 denH1358. The kingH4430 spokeH6032 and saidH560 to DanielH1841, “23Your GodH426 whomH1768 you constantlyH8411 serveH6399 will HimselfH1932 deliverH7804 you.” 17A 4stoneH69 was broughtH858 and laidH7761 overH5922 the mouthH6433 of the denH1358; and the kingH4430 sealedH2857 it with his own signetH5824 ringH5824 and with the signetH5824 ringsH5824 of his noblesH7261, soH1768 that nothingH3809H6640 would be changedH8133 in regard to DanielH1841. 18ThenH116 the kingH4430 wentH236 offH236 to his palaceH1965 and spentH1006 the nightH1006 5fastingH2908, and noH3809 entertainmentH1761 was broughtH5954 beforeH6925 him; and his 6sleepH8139 fledH5075 from him.

19ThenH116 the kingH4430 aroseH6966 at dawnH8238, at the breakH5053 of dayH5053, and wentH236 in hasteH927 to the lions’H744 denH1358. 20When he had comeH7127 nearH7127 the denH1358 to DanielH1841, he criedH2200 out with a troubledH6088 voiceH7032. The kingH4430 spokeH6032 and saidH560 to DanielH1841, “DanielH1841, servantH5649 of the livingH2417 GodH426, has 7your GodH426, whomH1768 you constantlyH8411 serveH6399, beenH3202 8ableH3202 to deliverH7804 you from the lionsH744?” 21ThenH116 DanielH1841 spokeH4449 9to the kingH4430, “10O kingH4430, liveH2418 foreverH5957! 22My GodH426 11sentH7972 His angelH4398 and 12shutH5463 the lions’H744 mouthsH6433 and they have not harmedH2255 me, inasmuchH3606H6903H1768 as 13I was foundH7912 innocentH2136 beforeH6925 Him; and alsoH638 14towardH6925 you, O kingH4430, I have committedH5648 noH3809 crimeH2248.” 23ThenH116 the kingH4430 was veryH7690 pleasedH2868 and gaveH560 ordersH560 for DanielH1841 to be takenH5559 up out of the denH1358. So DanielH1841 was takenH5559 up out of the denH1358 and 15noH3606H3809 injuryH2257 whateverH3606 was foundH7912 on him, becauseH1768 he had 16trustedH540 in his GodH426. 24The kingH4430 then gaveH560 ordersH560, and they broughtH858 thoseH479 menH1400 whoH1768 had 17maliciouslyH399H7170 accusedH399H7170 DanielH1841, and they 18castH7412 them, their 19childrenH1123 and their wivesH5389 into the lions’H744 denH1358; and they had not reachedH4291 the bottomH773 of the denH1358 beforeH5705H1768 the lionsH744 overpoweredH7981 them and crushedH1855 allH3606 their bonesH1635.
