Then
the king gave orders, and Daniel was brought in and cast into the lions’
den…. Then the king arose at dawn, at
the break of day, and went in haste to the lions’ den. When he had come near the den to Daniel, he
cried out with a troubled voice. The king
spoke and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God,
whom you constantly serve, been able to deliver you from the lions?”
Then
Daniel spoke to the king, “O king, live forever! My God sent His angel and shut the lions’
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.”
Daniel
6:16, 19-22
