24The kingH4430 then gaveH560 ordersH560, and they broughtH858 thoseH479 menH1400 whoH1768 had 1maliciouslyH399H7170 accusedH399H7170 DanielH1841, and they 2threwH7412 them, their 3childrenH1123, 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 4peoplesH5972, nationsH524, and populations of all 5languagesH3961 whoH1768 were livingH1753 in allH3606 the landH772: “6May your 7peaceH8001 be greatH7680! 268I 9issueH7761 a decreeH2942 that in allH3606 the realmH7985 of my kingdomH4437 people are to trembleH2112 and fearH1763 beforeH4481H6925 the GodH426 of DanielH1841; For He is the 10livingH2417 GodH426 and 11enduringH7011 foreverH5957, And 12His kingdomH4437 is one whichH1768 will not be destroyedH2255, And His dominionH7985 will be 13foreverH5491.27He rescuesH7804, savesH5338, and performsH5648 14signsH852 and miraclesH8540 In heavenH8065 and on earthH772, He whoH1768 has also rescuedH7804 DanielH1841 from the 15powerH3028 of the lionsH744.”
