Daniel 6:18-23

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁸ Then the king went off to his palace and spent the night ^(A)fasting, and no entertainment was brought before him; and his ^(B)sleep fled from him.

¹⁹ Then the king arose at dawn, at the break of day, and hurriedly went to the lions’ den. ²⁰ When he had come near the den to Daniel, he cried out with a troubled voice. The king answered and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has ^(C)your God, whom you constantly serve, been ^(D)able to save you from the lions?” ²¹ Then Daniel spoke ^[a]to the king, “^(E)O king, live forever! ²² My God ^(F)sent His angel and ^(G)shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not harmed me, inasmuch as ^[b]I was found innocent before Him; and also ^[c]toward you, O king, I have done no harm.” ²³ Then the king was greatly pleased and said for Daniel to be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and ^(H)no harm whatsoever was found on him because he had ^(I)believed in his God.
