15
In the night the priests came with their wives and children, as they were accustomed to do, and ate and drank everything.
16
Early in the morning the king rose and came, and Daniel with him.
17
And the king said, "Are the seals unbroken, Daniel?" He answered, "They are unbroken, O king."
18
As soon as the doors were opened, the king looked at the table, and shouted in a loud voice, "You are great, O Bel; and with you there is no deceit, none at all."
19
Then Daniel laughed, and restrained the king from going in, and said, "Look at the floor, and notice whose footsteps these are."
