Daniel 6:14-16

New King James Version

¹⁴ And the king, when he heard these words, ^(A)was greatly displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he ^[a]labored till the going down of the sun to deliver him. ¹⁵ Then these men ^[b]approached the king, and said to the king, “Know, O king, that it is ^(B)the law of the Medes and Persians that no decree or statute which the king establishes may be changed.”

¹⁶ So the king gave the command, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. But the king spoke, saying to Daniel, “Your God, whom you serve continually, He will deliver you.”
