Daniel 6:20-27

20And when he had come near the den to Daniel, he cried out with a troubled voice. The king began speaking and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has 1your God, whom you continually serve, been 2able to rescue you from the lions?” 21Then Daniel spoke 3to the king, “4O king, live forever! 22My God 5sent His angel and 6shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not harmed me, since 7I was found innocent before Him; and also 8toward you, O king, I have committed no crime.” 23Then the king was very glad and gave orders for Daniel to be lifted up out of the den. So Daniel was lifted up out of the den, and 9no injury whatever was found on him, because he had 10trusted in his God. 24The king then gave orders, and they brought those men who had 11maliciously accused Daniel, and they 12threw them, their 13children, and their wives into the lions’ den; and they had not reached the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.

25Then Darius the king wrote to all the 14peoples, nations, and populations of all 15languages who were living in all the land: “16May your 17peace be great! 2618I 19issue a decree that in all the realm of my kingdom people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; For He is the 20living God and 21enduring forever, And 22His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed, And His dominion will be 23forever.27He rescues, saves, and performs 24signs and miracles In heaven and on earth, He who has also rescued Daniel from the 25power of the lions.”
