Daniel heard that the king had written this new law. Then he went home. He went upstairs to his room where the windows opened in the direction of Jerusalem. He bent down on his knees and he prayed to God, and he thanked God. He did that three times every day, in the same way that he had always done before.

My God sent his angel, and he shut the lions' mouths. So the lions have not hurt me. God knows that I have done no wrong thing. I have not done anything to hurt you, the king, either.’

I have made a law for every part of my kingdom. All people must respect the God that Daniel serves. They must respect him with fear. He is the God who always lives. He will continue for ever. Nobody will ever destroy his kingdom. He will rule for ever. He rescues his people and he keeps them safe. He does powerful miracles in the heavens and on the earth. He has saved Daniel from the lions' power!’

So the king commanded his men to take hold of Daniel. They threw Daniel into the cave where the lions lived. The king said to Daniel, ‘You have always continued to serve your God. I am sure that he will save you.’
