Daniel 6:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ Then these men said to each other, ‘We cannot find anything that Daniel does wrong in his work. We must find something that he does to obey the laws of his God.’

⁶ So the officers and rulers agreed together what they would do. They went to the king and they said, ‘King Darius, live for ever! ⁷ All the officers in the kingdom have decided on a good idea. All the rulers, the judges, the wise people, and the leaders in the different regions agree. We think that the king should make a strong law. For 30 days, people must pray only to you, the king. If they pray to any other person or god, you must punish them. Your servants must throw them into the cave where your lions live.
