Daniel 6:4-5
6:4 Consequently the supervisors and satraps were trying to find 1 some pretext against Daniel in connection with administrative matters. 2 But they were unable to find any such damaging evidence, 3 because he was trustworthy and guilty of no negligence or corruption. 4
6:5 So these men concluded, 5 “We won’t find any pretext against this man Daniel unless it is 6 in connection with the law of his God.”
