Daniel 6:5-12

ECB(i) 5 Then these mighty say, We find not any pretext against this Dani El; except we find against him concerning the decree of his Elah. 6 Then these eunuchs and satraps conspire to the sovereign; and say thus to him, Sovereign Daryavesh, live eternally. 7 All the eunuchs of the sovereigndom the prefects and the satraps the counsellors and the governors consulted together to raise a royal statute and to empower an edict - that whoever requests a request of any Elah or man until thirty days, except of you, O sovereign, be hurled into the dugout of lions: 8 now, O sovereign, raise the bond, and sign the inscribing, that it not change, according to the decree of the Maday and Persians which passes not. 9 - so sovereign Daryavesh signs the inscribing and the bond. 10 And Dani El, knowing the inscribing is signed, enters into his house, opens his windows in his upper room toward Yeru Shalem, he kneels on his knees three appointments a day, and prays and spreads hands in front of his Elah, as he did formerly. 11 Then these mighty conspire; and find Dani El requesting charism in front of his Elah: 12 then they approach in front of the sovereign and say concerning the bond of the sovereign; Signed you not a bond, that every man who requests of any Elah or man until thirty days, except of you, O sovereign, be cast into the dugout of lions? The sovereign answers and says, The utterance is certain, according to the decree of the Maday and Persians which alters not.
