25 Then King Darius wrote to all (A)the peoples, nations, and languages (B)that dwell in all the earth: (C)“Peace be multiplied to you. 26 (D)I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion (E)people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel,
for (F)he is (G)the living God,
enduring forever;
his kingdom shall never be destroyed,
(H)and his dominion shall be (I)to the end.
27 He delivers and rescues;
he works (J)signs and wonders

he who has (K)saved Daniel
from the power of the lions.”
