Daniel:6:4-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom ;
but they could find none occasion nor fault ;
forasmuch as he was faithful ,
neither was there any error or fault found in him .
*
Then said these men ,
We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel ,
except we find it against him concerning the law of his God .
*
Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king ,
and said thus unto him ,
King Darius ,
live for ever .
*
All the presidents of the kingdom ,
the governors ,
and the princes ,
the counsellors ,
and the captains ,
have consulted together to establish a royal statute ,
and to make a firm decree ,
that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days ,
save of thee ,
O king ,
he shall be cast into the den of lions .
*
Now ,
O king ,
establish the decree ,
and sign the writing ,
that it be not changed ,
according to the law of the Medes and Persians ,
which altereth not .
*
Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree .
