uDaniyeli 1:17-21

Aba bantwana bane ke uThixo ubanike ukwazi, nokwazi, nobulumko; kwaye uDaniyeli wayeyiqonda yonke imibono namaphupha. Ekupheleni kweentsuku awayethe maziziswe ngazo ukumkani, inkosana yabalungiseleli yabazisa phambi koNebhukadenetsare. Wathetha ukumkani kubo; kubo bonke kwafunyanwa abanjengoDaniyeli, noHananiya, noMishayeli, noAzariya; besakuma phambi kokumkani. Kuyo yonke imibandela yobulumko nengqiqo awababuza yona ukumkani, wafumanisa ukuba babebadlula ngokuphindwe kalishumi bonke abenzi bomlingo nabavumisi ngeenkwenkwezi ababesebukumkanini bakhe buphela. uDaniyeli wahlala kwada kwangumnyaka wokuqala kaKoreshi ukumkani.
