Then Daniel took pitch, fat, and hair, and boiled them together and made cakes, which he fed to the dragon. The dragon ate them, and burst open. And Daniel said, "See what you have been worshiping!"
28
When the Babylonians heard it, they were very indignant and conspired against the king, saying, "The king has become a Jew; he has destroyed Bel, and slain the dragon, and slaughtered the priests."
29
Going to the king, they said, "Hand Daniel over to us, or else we will kill you and your household."
30
The king saw that they were pressing him hard, and under compulsion he handed Daniel over to them.
31
They threw Daniel into the lions' den, and he was there for six days.
32
There were seven lions in the den, and every day they had been given two human bodies and two sheep; but these were not given to them now, so that they might devour Daniel.
33
Now the prophet Habakkuk was in Judea. He had boiled pottage and had broken bread into a bowl, and was going into the field to take it to the reapers.
34
But the angel of the Lord said to Habakkuk, "Take the dinner which you have to Babylon, to Daniel, in the lions' den."
35
Habakkuk said, "Sir, I have never seen Babylon, and I know nothing about the den."
36
Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown of his head, and lifted him by his hair and set him down in Babylon, right over the den, with the rushing sound of the wind itself.
37
Then Habakkuk shouted, "Daniel, Daniel! Take the dinner which God has sent you."
