Daniel 6:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ And Daniel excelled all the princes, and governors: because a greater spirit of God was in him.

⁴ And the king thought to set him over all the kingdom: whereupon the princes, and the governors sought to find occasion against Daniel with regard to the king: and they could find no cause, nor suspicion, because he was faithful, and no fault, nor suspicion was found in him.

⁵ Then these men said: We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, unless perhaps concerning the law of his God.
