Daniel 6:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spoke, and said to Daniel, “Your God, whom you always serve, he will deliver you.”

¹⁷ And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his princes, that the purpose concerning Daniel might not be changed.

¹⁸ Then the king went to his palace and fasted, and no instruments of music were brought before him, and he did not sleep.
