And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou also say that this is of brass? lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinketh; thou canst not say that he is no living god: therefore worship him.
22
Therefore the king slew them, and delivered Bel into Daniel's power, who destroyed him and his temple.
23
And in that same place there was a great dragon, which they of Babylon worshipped.
24
And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou also say that this is of brass? lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinketh; thou canst not say that he is no living god: therefore worship him.
25
Then said Daniel unto the king, I will worship the Lord my God: for he is the living God.
26
But give me leave, O king, and I shall slay this dragon without sword or staff. The king said, I give thee leave.
