Daniel 6:5-12 And the governors said, We shall not find occasion against Daniel, except in the ordinances of his God.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ And the governors said, We shall not find occasion against Daniel, except in the ordinances of his God. ⁶ Then the governors and satraps stood by the king, and said to him, King Darius, live forever! ⁷ All who preside over your kingdom, captains and satraps, chiefs and local governors, have taken counsel together, to establish by a royal statute, and to confirm a decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except for you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions. ⁸ Now then, O king, establish the decree, and publish a writ, that the decree of the Persians and Medes may not be changed. ⁹ Then King Darius commanded the decree to be written. ¹⁰ And when Daniel knew that the decree was ordered, he went into his house. And his windows were opened in his chambers toward Jerusalem, and three times in the day he knelt upon his knees, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he used to do before. ¹¹ Then these men watched, and found Daniel praying and making supplication to his God. ¹² And they came and said to the king, O king, have you not made a decree, that if any man shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except for you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? And the king said, The word is true, and the decree of the Medes and Persians shall not pass.
