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."
38
And Daniel said, "Thou hast remembered me, O God, and hast not forsaken those who love thee."
39
So Daniel arose and ate. And the angel of God immediately returned Habakkuk to his own place.
