The Conspiracy Against Daniel

4

Wherefore the rulers and gouernours sought an occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdome: but they could finde none occasion nor fault: for he was so faithfull that there was no blame nor fault found in him.

5

Then sayd these men, We shall not finde an occasion against this Daniel, except we finde it against him concerning the Law of his God.

6

Therefore the rulers and these gouernours went together to the King, and sayde thus vnto him, King Darius, liue for euer.

7

All the rulers of thy kingdome, the officers and gouernours, the counsellers, and dukes haue consulted together to make a decree for the King and to establish a statute, that whosoeuer shall aske a petition of any god or man for thirtie dayes saue of thee, O King, he shalbe cast into the denne of lyons.

8

Nowe, O King, confirme the decree, and seale the writing, that it be not changed according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

9

Wherefore King Darius sealed the writing and the decree.
