27
And when the Babylonians had heard this, they took great indignation: and being gathered together against the king, they said: The king is become a Jew. He hath destroyed Bel, he hath killed the dragon, and he hath put the priests to death.
28
And they came to the king, and said: Deliver us Daniel, or else we will destroy thee and thy house.
29
And the king saw that they pressed upon him violently: and being constrained by necessity he delivered Daniel to them.
30
And they cast him into the den of lions, and he was there six days.
31
And in the den there were seven lions, and they had given to them two carcasses every day, and two sheep: but then they were not given unto them, that they might devour Daniel.
