Book of Daniel

[Isatis]

Dan 6:7 "All the commissioners of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the high officials and the governors have consulted together that the king should establish a statute and enforce an injunction that anyone who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, shall be cast into the lions' den.

 

[Isatis]

Dan 6:8 "Now, O king, establish the injunction and sign the document so that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked."

 

[Isatis]

Dan 6:9 Therefore King Darius signed the document, that is, the injunction.

 

[Isatis]

Dan 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the document was signed, he entered his house (now in his roof chamber he had windows open toward Jerusalem); and he continued kneeling on his knees three times a day, praying and giving thanks before his God, as he had been doing previously.

 

[Isatis]

Dan 6:11 Then these men came by agreement and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.

 

[Isatis]

Dan 6:12 Then they approached and spoke before the king about the king's injunction, "Did you not sign an injunction that any man who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, is to be cast into the lions' den?" The king replied, "The statement is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked."

 

[Isatis]

Dan 6:13 Then they answered and spoke before the king, "Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the injunction which you signed, but keeps making his petition three times a day."

 

[Isatis]

Dan 6:14 Then, as soon as the king heard this statement, he was deeply distressed and set his mind on delivering Daniel; and even until sunset he kept exerting himself to rescue him.

 

[Isatis]

Dan 6:15 Then these men came by agreement to the king and said to the king, "Recognize, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no injunction or statute which the king establishes may be changed."

 

[Isatis]

Dan 6:16 Then the king gave orders, and Daniel was brought in and cast into the lions' den. The king spoke and said to Daniel, " Your God whom you constantly serve will Himself deliver you."

 

[Isatis]

Dan 6:17 A stone was brought and laid over the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the signet rings of his nobles, so that nothing would be changed in regard to Daniel.

 

[Isatis]

Dan 6:18 Then the king went off to his palace and spent the night fasting, and no entertainment was brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.

 

[tred]

Daniel 6:19
19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions' den.

 

[tred]

Daniel 6:20
20 When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?"

 

[doc329]

Daniel 6:21 (KJV) Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.

 

[jsimms615]

Daniel 6:22 "My God sent His angel and shut the lion's mouths and they have not harmed me inasmuch as I was found innocent before Him; and also toward you O king I have committed no crime."

 

[tred]

Daniel 6:23
24 The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.

 

[tred]

Daniel 6:24
24 At the king's command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought in and thrown into the lions' den, along with their wives and children. And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.

 

[tred]

Daniel 6:25
25 Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations and men of every language throughout the land: "May you prosper greatly!

 

[tred]

Daniel 6:26
26 "I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel. "For he is the living God and he endures forever; his kingdom will not be destroyed, his dominion will never end.
