5 Then these men said, “We will never find any charge against this Daniel unless we find something against him concerning the law of his God.”

10 When Daniel learned that the document had been signed, he went into his house.

The windows in its upstairs room opened toward Jerusalem, and three times a day he got down on his knees, prayed, and gave thanks to his God, just as he had done before.

11 Then these men went as a group and found Daniel petitioning and imploring his God.

13 Then they replied to the king, “Daniel, one of the Judean exiles, has ignored you, the king, and the edict you signed, for he prays three times a day.” 14 As soon as the king heard this, he was very displeased; he set his mind on rescuing Daniel and made every effort until sundown to deliver him.

15 Then these men went together to the king and said to him, “You know, Your Majesty, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no edict or ordinance the king establishes can be changed.”

23 The king was overjoyed and gave orders to take Daniel out of the den.

When Daniel was brought up from the den, he was found to be unharmed, for he trusted in his God.

24 The king then gave the command, and those men who had maliciously accused Daniel,ac were brought and thrown into the lions’ den—they, their children, and their wives.

They had not reached the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.
