So they came to the king and said, "Deliver us Daniel, or else we will destroy thee and thine house."
30
Now when the king saw that they pressed him sorely, being constrained, he delivered Daniel unto them;
31
and they cast him into the lions' den, where he was six days.
32
And in the den there were seven lions; and they had given them every day two carcasses and two sheep, which then were not given to them, with the intent they might devour Daniel.
33
Now there was in Jewry a prophet called Habakkuk, who had made pottage and had broken bread in a bowl, and was going into the field to bring it to the reapers.
34
But the angel of the Lord said unto Habakkuk, "Go, carry the dinner that thou hast into Babylon unto Daniel, who is in the lions' den."
35
And Habakkuk said, "Lord, I never saw Babylon; neither do I know where the den is."
36
Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown, and bore him by the hair of his head, and through the vehemency of his spirit set him in Babylon over the den.
37
And Habakkuk cried, saying, "O Daniel, Daniel, take the dinner which God hath sent thee!"
38
And Daniel said, "Thou hast remembered me, O God; neither hast Thou forsaken them that seek Thee and love Thee."
39
So Daniel arose and did eat. And the angel of the Lord set Habakkuk in his own place again immediately.
