6:14. Now when the king had heard these words, he was very much grieved,
and in behalf of Daniel he set his heart to deliver him, and even till
sunset he laboured to save him.
6:15. But those men perceiving the king's design, said to him: Know
thou, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree
which the king hath made, may be altered.
6:16. Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him
into the den of the lions. And the king said to Daniel: Thy God, whom
thou always servest, he will deliver thee.
6:17. And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den: which
the king sealed with his own ring, and with the ring of his nobles, that
nothing should be done against Daniel.
6:18. And the king went away to his house, and laid himself down without
taking supper, and meat was not set before him, and even sleep departed
from him.
6:19. Then the king rising very early in the morning, went in haste to
the lions' den:
6:20. And coming near to the den, cried with a lamentable voice to
Daniel, and said to him: Daniel, servant of the living God, hath thy
God, whom thou servest always, been able, thinkest thou, to deliver thee
from the lions?
6:21. And Daniel answering the king, said: O king, live for ever:
6:22. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut up the mouths of the
lions, and they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him justice hath
been found in me: yea, and before thee, O king, I have done no offence.
6:23. Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and he commanded that
Daniel should be taken out of the den: and Daniel was taken out of the
den, and no hurt was found in him, because he believed in his God.
6:24. And by the king's commandment, those men were brought that had
accused Daniel: and they were cast into the lions' den, they and their
children, and their wives: and they did not reach the bottom of the den,
before the lions caught them, and broke all their bones in pieces.
6:25. Then king Darius wrote to all people, tribes, and languages,
dwelling in the whole earth: PEACE be multiplied unto you.
6:26. It is decreed by me, that in all my empire and my kingdom, all men
dread and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God
for ever: and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his power shall be
for ever.
6:27. He is the deliverer, and saviour, doing signs and wonders in
heaven, and in earth: who hath delivered Daniel out of the lions' den.
6:28. Now Daniel continued unto the reign of Darius, and the reign of
Cyrus, the Persian.
Daniel Chapter 7
Daniel's vision of the four beasts, signifying four kingdoms: of God
sitting on his throne: and of the opposite kingdoms of Christ and
Antichrist.
7:1. In the first year of Baltasar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream:
and the vision of his head was upon his bed: and writing the dream, he
comprehended it in a few words: and relating the sum of it in short, he
said:
7:2. I saw in my vision by night, and behold the four winds of the
heavens strove upon the great sea.
7:3. And four great beasts, different one from another, came up out of
the sea.
Four great beasts... Viz., the Chaldean, Persian, Grecian, and Roman
empires. But some rather choose to understand the fourth beast of the
successors of Alexander the Great, more especially of them that reigned
in Asia and Syria.
7:4. The first was like a lioness, and had the wings of an eagle: I
beheld till her wings were plucked off, and she was lifted up from the
earth, and stood upon her feet as a man, and the heart of a man was
given to her.
