Daniel 6:20-26

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 1your GodH426, whomH1768 you constantlyH8411 serveH6399, beenH3202 2ableH3202 to deliverH7804 you from the lionsH744?” 21ThenH116 DanielH1841 spokeH4449 3to the kingH4430, “4O kingH4430, liveH2418 foreverH5957! 22My GodH426 5sentH7972 His angelH4398 and 6shutH5463 the lions’H744 mouthsH6433 and they have not harmedH2255 me, inasmuchH3606H6903H1768 as 7I was foundH7912 innocentH2136 beforeH6925 Him; and alsoH638 8towardH6925 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 9noH3606H3809 injuryH2257 whateverH3606 was foundH7912 on him, becauseH1768 he had 10trustedH540 in his GodH426. 24The kingH4430 then gaveH560 ordersH560, and they broughtH858 thoseH479 menH1400 whoH1768 had 11maliciouslyH399H7170 accusedH399H7170 DanielH1841, and they 12castH7412 them, their 13childrenH1123 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.

25ThenH116 DariusH1868 the kingH4430 wroteH3790 to allH3606 the 14peoplesH5972, nationsH524 and men of every 15languageH3961 whoH1768 were livingH1753 in allH3606 the landH772: “16May your 17peaceH8001 aboundH7680! 2618I 19makeH7761 a decreeH2942 that in allH3606 the dominionH7985 of my kingdomH4437 men are to fearH1763 and trembleH2112 beforeH4481H6925 the GodH426 of DanielH1841; For He is the 20livingH2417 GodH426 and 21enduringH7011 foreverH5957, And 22His kingdomH4437 is one whichH1768 will not be destroyedH2255, And His dominionH7985 will be 23foreverH5491.
