Daniel 6:1-28

It pleased
<06925> <08232> (8754)

Darius
<01868>

to set
<06966> (8684)

over
<05922>

the kingdom
<04437>

an hundred
<03969>

and twenty
<06243>

princes
<0324>_,

which should be
<01934> (8748)

over the whole
<03606>

kingdom
<04437>_;

And over
<05924>

these
<04481>

three
<08532>

presidents
<05632>_;

of whom
<04481>

Daniel
<01841>

[was] first
<02298>_:

that
<0459>

the princes
<0324>

might
<01934> (8748)

give
<03052> (8751)

accounts
<02941>

unto them, and the king
<04430>

should have
<01934> (8748)

no
<03809>

damage
<05142> (8752)_.

Then
<0116>

this
<01836>

Daniel
<01841>

was
<01934> (8754)

preferred
<05330> (8723)

above
<05922>

the presidents
<05632>

and princes
<0324>_,

because
<03606> <06903>

an excellent
<03493>

spirit
<07308>

[was] in him; and the king
<04430>

thought
<06246> (8754)

to set
<06966> (8682)

him over
<05922>

the whole
<03606>

realm
<04437>_.

Then
<0116>

the presidents
<05632>

and princes
<0324>

sought
<01934> (8754) <01156> (8750)

to find
<07912> (8682)

occasion
<05931>

against Daniel
<01841>

concerning
<06655>

the kingdom
<04437>_;

but
<03606>

they could
<03202> (8750)

find
<07912> (8682)

none
<03809>

occasion
<05931>

nor
<03809>

fault
<07844> (8752)_;

forasmuch
<06903>

as he [was] faithful
<0540> (8683)_,

neither
<03809>

was there any
<03606>

error
<07960>

or fault
<07844> (8752)

found
<07912> (8728)

in him
<05922>_.

Then
<0116>

said
<0560> (8750)

these
<0479>

men
<01400>_,

We shall not
<03809>

find
<07912> (8684)

any
<03606>

occasion
<05931>

against
<05922>

this
<01836>

Daniel
<01841>_,

except
<03861>

we find
<07912> (8681)

[it] against him concerning the law
<01882>

of his God
<0426>_.

Then
<0116>

these
<0459>

presidents
<05632>

and princes
<0324>

assembled together
<07284> (8684)

to the king
<04430>_,

and said
<0560> (8750)

thus
<03652>

unto him
<05922>_,

King
<04430>

Darius
<01868>_,

live
<02418> (8747)

for ever
<05957>_.

{assembled...: or, came tumultuously}

All
<03606>

the presidents
<05632>

of the kingdom
<04437>_,

the governors
<05460>_,

and the princes
<0324>_,

the counsellors
<01907>_,

and the captains
<06347>_,

have consulted together
<03272> (8724)

to establish
<06966> (8742)

a royal
<04430>

statute
<07010>_,

and to make a firm
<08631> (8742)

decree
<0633>_,

that whosoever shall ask
<01156> (8748)

a petition
<01159>

of
<04481>

any
<03606>

God
<0426>

or man
<0606>

for
<05705>

thirty
<08533>

days
<03118>_,

save
<03861>

of thee
<04481>_,

O king
<04430>_,

he shall be cast
<07412> (8729)

into the den
<01358>

of lions
<0744>_.

{decree: or, interdict}

Now
<03705>_,

O king
<04430>_,

establish
<06966> (8681)

the decree
<0633>_,

and sign
<07560> (8748)

the writing
<03792>_,

that it be not
<03809>

changed
<08133> (8682)_,

according to the law
<01882>

of the Medes
<04076>

and Persians
<06540>_,

which altereth
<05709> (8748)

not
<03809>_.

{altereth not: Chaldee, passeth not}

Wherefore
<03606> <01836> <06903>

king
<04430>

Darius
<01868>

signed
<07560> (8754)

the writing
<03792>

and the decree
<0633>_.

Now when Daniel
<01841>

knew
<03046> (8754)

that the writing
<03792>

was signed
<07560> (8752)_,

he went
<05954> (8754)

into his house
<01005>_;

and his windows
<03551>

being open
<06606> (8759)

in his chamber
<05952>

toward
<05049>

Jerusalem
<03390>_,

he kneeled
<01289> (8750)

upon
<05922>

his knees
<01291>

three
<08532>

times
<02166>

a day
<03118>_,

and prayed
<06739> (8743)_,

and gave thanks
<03029> (8683)

before
<06925>

his God
<0426>_,

as
<06903> <03606>

he did
<01934> (8754) <05648> (8751)

aforetime
<04481> <01836> <06928>_.

Then
<0116>

these
<0479>

men
<01400>

assembled
<07284> (8684)_,

and found
<07912> (8684)

Daniel
<01841>

praying
<01156> (8750)

and making supplication
<02604> (8723)

before
<06925>

his God
<0426>_.

Then
<0116>

they came near
<07127> (8754)_,

and spake
<0560> (8750)

before
<06925>

the king
<04430>

concerning
<05922>

the king's
<04430>

decree
<0633>_;

Hast thou not
<03809>

signed
<07560> (8754)

a decree
<0633>_,

that every
<03606>

man
<0606>

that shall ask
<01156> (8748)

[a petition] of
<04481>

any
<03606>

God
<0426>

or man
<0606>

within
<05705>

thirty
<08533>

days
<03118>_,

save
<03861>

of thee
<04481>_,

O king
<04430>_,

shall be cast
<07412> (8729)

into the den
<01358>

of lions
<0744>_?

The king
<04430>

answered
<06032> (8750)

and said
<0560> (8750)_,

The thing
<04406>

[is] true
<03330>_,

according to the law
<01882>

of the Medes
<04076>

and Persians
<06540>_,

which altereth
<05709> (8748)

not
<03809>_.

Then
<0116>

answered
<06032> (8754)

they and said
<0560> (8750)

before
<06925>

the king
<04430>_,

That Daniel
<01841>_,

which [is] of
<04481>

the children
<01123>

of the captivity
<01547>

of Judah
<03061>_,

regardeth
<07761> (8754) <02942>

not
<03809>

thee
<05922>_,

O king
<04430>_,

nor the decree
<0633>

that thou hast signed
<07560> (8754)_,

but maketh
<01156> (8750)

his petition
<01159>

three
<08532>

times
<02166>

a day
<03118>_.

Then
<0116>

the king
<04430>_,

when he heard
<08086> (8754)

[these] words
<04406>_,

was sore
<07690>

displeased
<0888> (8754)

with himself, and set
<07761> (8754)

[his] heart
<01079>

on
<05922>

Daniel
<01841>

to deliver
<07804> (8756)

him: and he laboured
<01934> (8754) <07712> (8723)

till
<05705>

the going down
<04606>

of the sun
<08122>

to deliver
<05338> (8682)

him.

Then
<0116>

these
<0479>

men
<01400>

assembled
<07284> (8684)

unto
<05922>

the king
<04430>_,

and said
<0560> (8750)

unto the king
<04430>_,

Know
<03046> (8747)_,

O king
<04430>_,

that the law
<01882>

of the Medes
<04076>

and Persians
<06540>

[is], That no
<03606>

decree
<0633>

nor statute
<07010>

which the king
<04430>

establisheth
<06966> (8681)

may be changed
<08133> (8682)_.

Then
<0116>

the king
<04430>

commanded
<0560> (8754)_,

and they brought
<0858> (8684)

Daniel
<01841>_,

and cast
<07412> (8754)

[him] into the den
<01358>

of lions
<0744>_.

[Now] the king
<04430>

spake
<06032> (8750)

and said
<0560> (8750)

unto Daniel
<01841>_,

Thy God
<0426>

whom thou
<0607>

servest
<06399> (8750)

continually
<08411>_,

he will deliver
<07804> (8755)

thee.

And a
<02298>

stone
<069>

was brought
<0858> (8717)_,

and laid
<07761> (8752)

upon
<05922>

the mouth
<06433>

of the den
<01358>_;

and the king
<04430>

sealed
<02857> (8754)

it with his own signet
<05824>_,

and with the signet
<05824>

of his lords
<07261>_;

that the purpose
<06640>

might not
<03809>

be changed
<08133> (8748)

concerning Daniel
<01841>_.

Then
<0116>

the king
<04430>

went
<0236> (8754)

to his palace
<01965>_,

and passed the night
<0956> (8754)

fasting
<02908>_:

neither
<03809>

were instruments
<01761>

of musick brought
<05954> (8684)

before
<06925>

him: and his sleep
<08139>

went
<05075> (8754)

from him
<05922>_.

{instruments...: or, table}

Then
<0116>

the king
<04430>

arose
<06966> (8748)

very early
<08238>

in the morning
<05053>_,

and went
<0236> (8754)

in haste
<0927> (8726)

unto the den
<01358>

of lions
<0744>_.

And when he came
<07127> (8749)

to the den
<01358>_,

he cried
<02200> (8754)

with a lamentable
<06088> (8750)

voice
<07032>

unto Daniel
<01841>_:

[and] the king
<04430>

spake
<06032> (8750)

and said
<0560> (8750)

to Daniel
<01841>_,

O Daniel
<01841>_,

servant
<05649>

of the living
<02417>

God
<0426>_,

is thy God
<0426>_,

whom thou servest
<06399> (8750)

continually
<08411>_,

able
<03202> (8754)

to deliver
<07804> (8756)

thee from
<04481>

the lions
<0744>_?

Then
<0116>

said
<04449> (8745)

Daniel
<01841>

unto
<05974>

the king
<04430>_,

O king
<04430>_,

live
<02418> (8747)

for ever
<05957>_.

My God
<0426>

hath sent
<07972> (8754)

his angel
<04398>_,

and hath shut
<05463> (8754)

the lions
<0744>_'

mouths
<06433>_,

that they have not
<03809>

hurt
<02255> (8745)

me: forasmuch as
<03606> <06903>

before
<06925>

him innocency
<02136>

was found
<07912> (8728)

in me; and also
<0638>

before
<06925>

thee, O king
<04430>_,

have I done
<05648> (8754)

no
<03809>

hurt
<02248>_.

Then
<0116>

was the king
<04430>

exceeding
<07690>

glad
<02868> (8754)

for him
<05922>_,

and commanded
<0560> (8754)

that they should take
<05267> (0)

Daniel
<01841>

up
<05267> (8682)

out of
<04481>

the den
<01358>_.

So Daniel
<01841>

was taken up
<05267> (8717)

out of
<04481>

the den
<01358>_,

and no
<03809>

manner
<03606>

of hurt
<02257>

was found
<07912> (8728)

upon him, because he believed
<0540> (8684)

in his God
<0426>_.

And the king
<04430>

commanded
<0560> (8754)_,

and they brought
<0858> (8684)

those
<0479>

men
<01400>

which had accused
<0399> (8754) <07170>

Daniel
<01841>_,

and they cast
<07412> (8754)

[them] into the den
<01358>

of lions
<0744>_,

them
<0581>_,

their children
<01123>_,

and their wives
<05389>_;

and the lions
<0744>

had the mastery
<05705> <07981> (8754)

of them, and brake
<01855> (0)

all
<03606>

their bones
<01635>

in pieces
<01855> (8684)

or ever
<03809>

they came
<04291> (8754)

at the bottom
<0773>

of the den
<01358>_.

Then
<0116>

king
<04430>

Darius
<01868>

wrote
<03790> (8754)

unto all
<03606>

people
<05972>_,

nations
<0524>_,

and languages
<03961>_,

that dwell
<01753> (8748)

in all
<03606>

the earth
<0772>_;

Peace
<08001>

be multiplied
<07680> (8748)

unto you.

I
<04481> <06925>

make
<07761> (8752)

a decree
<02942>_,

That in every
<03606>

dominion
<07985>

of my kingdom
<04437>

men tremble
<01934> (8748) <02112>

and fear
<01763> (8751)

before
<04481> <06925>

the God
<0426>

of Daniel
<01841>_:

for he [is] the living
<02417>

God
<0426>_,

and stedfast
<07011>

for ever
<05957>_,

and his kingdom
<04437>

[that] which shall not
<03809>

be destroyed
<02255> (8721)_,

and his dominion
<07985>

[shall be even] unto
<05705>

the end
<05491>_.

He delivereth
<07804> (8757)

and rescueth
<05338> (8683)_,

and he worketh
<05648> (8751)

signs
<0852>

and wonders
<08540>

in heaven
<08065>

and in earth
<0772>_,

who hath delivered
<07804> (8758)

Daniel
<01841>

from
<04481>

the power
<03028>

of the lions
<0744>_.

{power: Chaldee, hand}

So this
<01836>

Daniel
<01841>

prospered
<06744> (8684)

in the reign
<04437>

of Darius
<01868>_,

and in the reign
<04437>

of Cyrus
<03567>

the Persian
<06543>_.
