Daniel 6:6-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁶ So these officials and satraps went to the king as a group. They said to him, “May King Darius live forever! ⁷ All the officials, governors, satraps, advisers, and mayors agree that the king should make a statute and enforce a decree. The decree should state that for the next 30 days whoever asks for anything from any god or person except you, Your Majesty, will be thrown into a lions’ den. ⁸ Your Majesty, issue this decree, and sign it. According to the law of the Medes and Persians no one could change it or repeal it.”
