27:006:018 Then the king went to his palace, and passed
the night
fasting:
neither were instruments of musick brought before
him:
and his sleep went from him.
27:006:019 Then the king arose very early in the morning,
and went in
haste
unto the den of lions.
27:006:020 And when he came to the den, he cried with
a lamentable voice
unto
Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel,
O Daniel,
servant
of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest
continually,
able to deliver thee from the lions?
27:006:021 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
27:006:022 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut
the lions’ mouths,
that
they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him
innocency
was
found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done
no
hurt.
27:006:023 Then was the king exceedingly glad for
him, and commanded that
they
should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel
was taken
up
out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon
him,
because
he believed in his God.
27:006:024 And the king commanded, and they brought
those men which had
accused
Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions,
them,
their children, and their wives; and the lions had
the
mastery
of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever
they
came at the bottom of the den.
27:006:025 Then king Darius wrote unto all people,
nations, and
languages,
that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied
unto
you.
27:006:026 I make a decree, That in every dominion
of my kingdom men
tremble
and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the
living
God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which
shall
not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto
the
end.
27:006:027 He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh
signs and wonders
in
heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from
the
power
of the lions.
27:006:028 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of
Darius, and in the
reign
of Cyrus the Persian.
27:007:001 In the first year of Belshazzar king of
Babylon Daniel had a
dream
and visions of his head upon his bed: then he
wrote the
dream,
and told the sum of the matters.
27:007:002 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision
by night, and,
behold,
the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great
sea.
27:007:003 And four great beasts came up from the
sea, diverse one from
another.
27:007:004 The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s
wings: I beheld
till
the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up
from
the
earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a
man’s
heart
was given to it.
