Daniel 6:24-28
6:24 The king gave another order,
and those men who had maliciously accused
Daniel were brought and thrown
into the lions’ den – they, their children, and their wives.
They did not even reach the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.
6:25 Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and language groups who were living in all the land: “Peace and prosperity!
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.
6:27 He rescues and delivers
and performs signs and wonders
in the heavens and on the earth.
He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions!”
6:28 So this Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
