40
On the seventh day the king came to mourn for Daniel. When he came to the den he looked in, and there sat Daniel.
41
And the king shouted with a loud voice, "Thou art great, O Lord God of Daniel, and there is no other besides thee."
42
And he pulled Daniel out, and threw into the den the men who had attempted his destruction, and they were devoured immediately before his eyes.
