Ipapo mambo akarayira, vakauya navaya vanhu vakanga vapomera Dhanieri, vakavawisira mugomba reshumba, ivo, navana vavo, navakadzi vavo; shumba dzikavakunda, dzikavhuna‐vhuna mapfupa avo, vachigere kusvika pasi mugomba. Ipapo Dhariusi akanyorera vanhu vose, namarudzi ose, namarimi ose, vagere munyika yose, akati, “Rugare ngaruwanzwe kwamuri. Ndinotema chirevo, kuti munyika yose youshe hwangu vanhu vose vadedere vatye pamberi paMwari waDhanieri; nokuti ndiye Mwari mupenyu, aripo nokusingaperi, ushe hwake haungaparadzwi; kubata kwake ushe kuchavapo kusvikira pakuguma. Ndiye anorwira nokusunungura, ndiye anoita zviratidzo nezvishamiso kudenga napanyika, ndiye akarwira Dhanieri pasimba reshumba.” Saizvozvo Dhanieri uyu akagara zvakanaka pakubata ushe kwaDhariusi napakubata ushe kwaKoreshi muPeresia.
