When the Babylonians heard what happened, they were very angry. They came together as a mob and started toward the king, saying,"The king has become a Jew! He''s torn down Bel, killed the snake, and murdered the priests!"
29
When they reached the king, they said,"Hand Daniel over to us! If you don''t, we''ll kill you and your family!"
30
The king saw that he was in a bind and was forced to hand Daniel over to them.
31
They threw Daniel into a pit of lions. He was there six days.
32
There were seven lions in the pit. Usually they were fed two bodies and two sheep daily, but now they were fed nothing so that they would devour Daniel.
