When the Babylonians heard about it, they were very indignant and conspired against the king, saying, "The king has become a Jew; he has destroyed Bel, and killed 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 now they were given nothing, so that they would devour Daniel.
33
Now the prophet Habakkuk was in Judea; he had made a stew 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 food that 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 carried him by his hair; with the speed of the wind he set him down in Babylon, right over the den.
37
Then Habakkuk shouted, "Daniel, Daniel! Take the food that God has sent you."
38
Daniel said, "You have remembered me, O God, and have not forsaken those who love you."
