Daniel:6:20-27
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And when he came to the den ,
he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel :
and the king spake and said to Daniel ,
O Daniel ,
servant of the living God ,
is thy God ,
whom thou servest continually ,
able to deliver thee from the lions ?
*
Then said Daniel unto the king ,
O king ,
live for ever .
*
My God hath sent his angel ,
and hath shut the lions '
mouths ,
that they have not hurt me :
forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me ;
and also before thee ,
O king ,
have I done no hurt .
*
Then was the king exceeding glad for him ,
and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den .
So Daniel was taken up out of the den ,
and no manner of hurt was found upon him ,
because he believed in his God .
*
And the king commanded ,
and they brought those men which had accused Daniel ,
and they cast them into the den of lions ,
them ,
their children ,
and their wives ;
and the lions had the mastery of them ,
and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den .
*
Then king Darius wrote unto all people ,
nations ,
and languages ,
that dwell in all the earth ;
Peace be multiplied unto you .
*
I make a decree ,
That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel :
for he is the living God ,
and stedfast for ever ,
and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed ,
and his dominion shall be even unto the end .
*
He delivereth and rescueth ,
and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth ,
who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions .
