Daniel 6:9-15

9ThereforeH3606H1836H6903 kingH4430 DariusH1868 signedH7560 the writingH3792 and the decreeH633. 10Now when DanielH1841 knewH3046 that the writingH3792 was signedH7560, he wentH5954 into his houseH1005; and his windowsH3551 being openH6606 in his chamberH5952 towardH5049 JerusalemH3390, he kneeledH1289 uponH5922 his kneesH1291 threeH8532 timesH2166 a dayH3118, and prayedH6739, and gave thanksH3029 beforeH6925 his GodH426, asH6903H3606 he didH1934H5648 beforeH4481H1836H6928.

11ThenH116 theseH479 menH1400 assembledH7284, and foundH7912 DanielH1841 prayingH1156 and making supplicationH2604 beforeH6925 his GodH426. 12ThenH116 they came nearH7127, and spokeH560 beforeH6925 the kingH4430 concerningH5922 the king’sH4430 decreeH633; Hast thou notH3809 signedH7560 a decreeH633, that everyH3606 manH606 that shall askH1156 a petition ofH4481 anyH3606 godH426 or manH606 withinH5705 thirtyH8533 daysH3118, exceptH3861 of theeH4481, O kingH4430, shall be castH7412 into the denH1358 of lionsH744? The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560, The thingH4406 is trueH3330, according to the lawH1882 of the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540, which alterethH5709 notH3809. 13ThenH116 they answeredH6032 and saidH560 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, That DanielH1841, who is ofH4481 the childrenH1123 of the captivityH1547 of JudahH3061, regardethH7761H2942 notH3809 theeH5922, O kingH4430, nor the decreeH633 that thou hast signedH7560, but makethH1156 his petitionH1159 threeH8532 timesH2166 a dayH3118. 14ThenH116 the kingH4430, when he heardH8086 these wordsH4406, was muchH7690 displeasedH888 with himself, and setH7761 his heartH1079 onH5922 DanielH1841 to deliverH7804 him: and he labouredH1934H7712 tillH5705 the settingH4606 of the sunH8122 to deliverH5338 him. 15ThenH116 theseH479 menH1400 assembledH7284 toH5922 the kingH4430, and saidH560 to the kingH4430, KnowH3046, O kingH4430, that the lawH1882 of the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540 is, That noH3606 decreeH633 nor statuteH7010 which the kingH4430 establishethH6966 may be changedH8133.
