Daniel 6:18-23

English Standard Version

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

¹⁹ Then, at break of day, the king arose and went in haste to the den of lions. ²⁰ As he came near to the den where Daniel was, he cried out in a tone of anguish. The king declared to Daniel, “O Daniel, servant of ^(C)the living God, ^(D)has your God, whom you serve continually, ^(E)been able to deliver you from the lions?” ²¹ Then Daniel said to the king, ^(F)“O king, live forever! ²² My God ^(G)sent his angel ^(H)and shut the lions' mouths, and they have not harmed me, because I was found blameless ^(I)before him; ^(J)and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.” ²³ Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that Daniel be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and ^(K)no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
