Daniel 6:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ Therefore, they concluded, “We shall never find any basis to lodge a complaint against Daniel unless it is in connection with his God.”

⁷ As a result, these administrators and satraps conspired together, and then they came in a group to the king, saying, “May King Darius live forever! ⁸ All of us, the ministers of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the counselors and the governors, are unanimous in our belief that the king should issue an edict and enforce a decree that whoever presents a petition to anyone, whether divine or human, during the next thirty days, other than to you, O king, shall be thrown into a den of lions.
