It pleased [6925] [8232] Darius [1868] to set [6966] over [5922] the kingdom [4437] an hundred [3969] and twenty [6243] princes, [0324] which should be [1934] over the whole [3606] kingdom; [4437]
2
And over [5924] these [4481] three [8532] presidents; [5632] of whom Daniel [1841] [was] first: [2298] that the [0459] princes [0324] might give [1934] [3052] accounts [2941] unto them, and the king [4430] should have [1934] no [3809] damage. [5142]
3
Then [0116] this [1836] Daniel [1841] was [1934] preferred [5330] above [5922] the presidents [5632] and princes, [0324] because [3606] [6903] an excellent [3493] spirit [7308] [was] in him; and the king [4430] thought [6246] to set [6966] him over [5922] the whole [3606] realm. [4437]
4
Then [0116] the presidents [5632] and princes [0324] sought [1934] [1156] to find [7912] occasion [5931] against Daniel [1841] concerning [6655] the kingdom; [4437] but [3606] they could [3202] find [7912] none [3809] [3606] occasion [5931] nor [3809] fault; [7844] forasmuch [3606] [6903] as he [was] faithful, [0540] neither [3809] was there any [3606] error [7960] or fault [7844] found [7912] in him. [5922]
5
Then [0116] said [0560] these [0479] men, [1400] We shall not [3809] find [7912] any [3606] occasion [5931] against this [1836] Daniel, [1841] except [3861] we find [7912] [it] against [5922] him concerning the law [1882] of his God. [0426]
6
Then [0116] these [0459] presidents [5632] and princes [0324] assembled together [7284] to [5922] the king, [4430] and said [0560] thus [3652] unto him, King [4430] Darius, [1868] live [2418] for ever. [5957]
7
All [3606] the presidents [5632] of the kingdom, [4437] the governors, [5460] and the princes, [0324] the counsellors, [1907] and the captains, [6347] have consulted together [3272] to establish [6966] a royal [4430] statute, [7010] and to make a firm [8631] decree, [0633] that whosoever [3606] shall ask [1156] a petition [1159] of [4481] any [3606] God [0426] or man [0606] for [5705] thirty [8533] days, [3118] save [3861] of thee, [4481] O king, [4430] he shall be cast [7412] into the den [1358] of lions. [0744]
8
Now, [3705] O king, [4430] establish [6966] the decree, [0633] and sign [7560] the writing, [3792] that it be not [3809] changed, [8133] according to the law [1882] of the Medes [4076] and Persians, [6540] which altereth [5709] not. [3809]
9
Wherefore [3606] [1836] [6903] king [4430] Darius [1868] signed [7560] the writing [3792] and the decree. [0633]
10
Now when Daniel [1841] knew [3046] that the writing [3792] was signed, [7560] he went [5954] into his house; [1005] and his windows [3551] being open [6606] in his chamber [5952] toward [5049] Jerusalem, [3390] he kneeled [1289] upon [5922] his knees [1291] three [8532] times [2166] a day, [3118] and prayed, [6739] and gave thanks [3029] before [6925] his God, [0426] as [6903] [3606] he did [1934] [5648] aforetime. [4481] [1836] [6928]
11
Then [0116] these [0479] men [1400] assembled, [7284] and found [7912] Daniel [1841] praying [1156] and making supplication [2604] before [6925] his God. [0426]
12
Then [0116] they came near, [7127] and spake [0560] before [6925] the king [4430] concerning [5922] the king's [4430] decree; [0633] Hast thou not [3809] signed [7560] a decree, [0633] that every [3606] man [0606] that shall ask [1156] [a petition] of [4481] any [3606] God [0426] or man [0606] within [5705] thirty [8533] days, [3118] save [3861] of thee, [4481] O king, [4430] shall be cast [7412] into the den [1358] of lions? [0744] The king [4430] answered [6032] and said, [0560] The thing [4406] [is] true, [3330] according to the law [1882] of the Medes [4076] and Persians, [6540] which altereth [5709] not. [3809]
13
Then [0116] answered [6032] they and said [0560] before [6925] the king, [4430] That Daniel, [1841] which [is] of [4481] the children [1123] of the captivity [1547] of Judah, [3061] regardeth [7761] [2942] not [3809] thee, [5922] O king, [4430] nor [5922] the decree [0633] that thou hast signed, [7560] but maketh [1156] his petition [1159] three [8532] times [2166] a day. [3118]
14
Then [0116] the king, [4430] when he heard [8086] [these] words, [4406] was sore [7690] displeased [0888] with [5922] himself, and set [7761] [his] heart [1079] on [5922] Daniel [1841] to deliver [7804] him: and he laboured [1934] [7712] till [5705] the going down [4606] of the sun [8122] to deliver [5338] him.
15
Then [0116] these [0479] men [1400] assembled [7284] unto [5922] the king, [4430] and said [0560] unto the king, [4430] Know, [3046] O king, [4430] that the law [1882] of the Medes [4076] and Persians [6540] [is], That no [3606] decree [0633] nor statute [7010] which the king [4430] establisheth [6966] may be changed. [8133]
16
Then [0116] the king [4430] commanded, [0560] and they brought [0858] Daniel, [1841] and cast [7412] [him] into the den [1358] of lions. [0744] [Now] the king [4430] spake [6032] and said [0560] unto Daniel, [1841] Thy God [0426] whom thou [0607] servest [6399] continually, [8411] he will deliver [7804] thee.
17
And a [2298] stone [0069] was brought, [0858] and laid [7761] upon [5922] the mouth [6433] of the den; [1358] and the king [4430] sealed [2857] it with his own signet, [5824] and with the signet [5824] of his lords; [7261] that the purpose [6640] might not [3809] be changed [8133] concerning Daniel. [1841]
18
Then [0116] the king [4430] went [0236] to his palace, [1965] and passed the night [0956] fasting: [2908] neither [3809] were instruments [1761] of musick brought [5954] before [6925] him: and his sleep [8139] went [5075] from him. [5922]
19
Then [0116] the king [4430] arose [6966] very early [8238] in the morning, [5053] and went [0236] in haste [0927] unto the den [1358] of lions. [0744]
20
And when he came [7127] to the den, [1358] he cried [2200] with a lamentable [6088] voice [7032] unto Daniel: [1841] [and] the king [4430] spake [6032] and said [0560] to Daniel, [1841] O Daniel, [1841] servant [5649] of the living [2417] God, [0426] is thy God, [0426] whom thou servest [6399] continually, [8411] able [3202] to deliver [7804] thee from [4481] the lions? [0744]
21
Then [0116] said [4449] Daniel [1841] unto [5974] the king, [4430] O king, [4430] live [2418] for ever. [5957]
22
My God [0426] hath sent [7972] his angel, [4398] and hath shut [5463] the lions' [0744] mouths, [6433] that they have not [3809] hurt [2255] me: forasmuch as [3606] [6903] before [6925] him innocency [2136] was found [7912] in me; and also [0638] before [6925] thee, O king, [4430] have I done [5648] no [3809] hurt. [2248]
23
Then [0116] was the king [4430] exceeding [7690] glad [2868] for him, [5922] and commanded [0560] that they should take Daniel [1841] up [5267] out of [4481] the den. [1358] So Daniel [1841] was taken up [5267] out of [4481] the den, [1358] and no [3809] manner [3606] of hurt [2257] was found [7912] upon him, because he believed [0540] in his God. [0426]
24
And the king [4430] commanded, [0560] and they brought [0858] those [0479] men [1400] which had accused [0399] [7170] Daniel, [1841] and they cast [7412] [them] into the den [1358] of lions, [0744] them, [0581] their children, [1123] and their wives; [5389] and the lions [0744] had the mastery [7981] of them, and brake all [3606] their bones [1635] in pieces [1855] or [5705] ever [3809] they came [4291] at the bottom [0773] of the den. [1358]
25
Then [0116] king [4430] Darius [1868] wrote [3790] unto all [3606] people, [5972] nations, [0524] and languages, [3961] that dwell [1753] in all [3606] the earth; [0772] Peace [8001] be multiplied [7680] unto you.
26
I [4481] [6925] make [7761] a decree, [2942] That in every [3606] dominion [7985] of my kingdom [4437] men tremble [1934] [2112] and fear [1763] before [4481] [6925] the God [0426] of Daniel: [1841] for he [is] the living [2417] God, [0426] and stedfast [7011] for ever, [5957] and his kingdom [4437] [that] which shall not [3809] be destroyed, [2255] and his dominion [7985] [shall be even] unto [5705] the end. [5491]
27
He delivereth [7804] and rescueth, [5338] and he worketh [5648] signs [0852] and wonders [8540] in heaven [8065] and in earth, [0772] who hath delivered [7804] Daniel [1841] from [4481] the power [3028] of the lions. [0744]
28
So this [1836] Daniel [1841] prospered [6744] in the reign [4437] of Darius, [1868] and in the reign [4437] of Cyrus [3567] the Persian. [6543]
