Daniel 6:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

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. ⁸ You should write down this law and then you should write your name on it, as king. Then it will be a law of the Medes and the Persians which nobody can change.’
