1599 Geneva Bible
24 And by the commandment of the King these men which had accused Daniel, were brought, and were [a]cast into the den of lions, even they, their children, and their wives: and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones a pieces, or ever they came at the ground of the den.
25 ¶ Afterward King Darius wrote, Unto all people, nations and languages, that dwell in all the world: Peace be multiplied unto you.
26 I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom, men tremble and fear [b]before the God of Daniel: for he is the [c]living God, and remaineth forever: and his kingdom shall not perish, and his dominion shall be everlasting.
