Daniel 6:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ Then these men said, “We will not find any accusation to bring against this Daniel unless we find something against him concerning the law of his God.”

⁶ So these supervisors and satraps came as a group to the king and said this to him, “Darius, Your Majesty, may you live forever! ⁷ All the supervisors of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the advisors and the governors advise the king to establish and enforce a decree that prohibits anyone to pray a prayer to any god or person for thirty days except to you, Your Majesty. Anyone who does so will be thrown into the den^[a] of lions.
