YLT(i)
14 Then the king, when he hath heard the matter, is greatly displeased at himself, and on Daniel he hath set the heart to deliver him, and till the going up of the sun he was arranging to deliver him.
15 Then these men have assembled near the king, and are saying to the king, `know, O king, that the law of Media and Persia is : That any interdict and statute that the king doth establish is not to be changed.'
16 Then the king hath said, and they have brought Daniel, and have cast him into a den of lions. The king hath answered and said to Daniel, `Thy God, whom thou art serving continually, Himself doth deliver thee.'
17 And a stone hath been brought and placed at the mouth of the den, and the king hath sealed it with his signet, and with the signet of his great men, that the purpose be not changed concerning Daniel.
