Daniel 3:27

3:27 Once the satraps, prefects, governors, and ministers of the king had gathered around, they saw that those men were physically 1  unharmed by the fire. 2  The hair of their heads was not singed, nor were their trousers damaged. Not even the smell of fire was to be found on them!

Daniel 6:4

6:4 Consequently the supervisors and satraps were trying to find 3  some pretext against Daniel in connection with administrative matters. 4  But they were unable to find any such damaging evidence, 5  because he was trustworthy and guilty of no negligence or corruption. 6 

Daniel 6:26

6:26 I have issued an edict that throughout all the dominion of my kingdom people are to revere and fear the God of Daniel.

“For he is the living God;

he endures forever.

His kingdom will not be destroyed;

his authority is forever. 7 

Daniel 9:25

9:25 So know and understand:

From the issuing of the command 8  to restore and rebuild

Jerusalem 9  until an anointed one, a prince arrives, 10 

there will be a period of seven weeks 11  and sixty-two weeks.

It will again be built, 12  with plaza and moat,

but in distressful times.
