Daniel 6:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ They took a big stone and they covered the top of the lions' cave. The king put a mark on the stone with his ring of authority. He also marked it with the rings of his important men. This meant that nobody could move the big stone to save Daniel. ¹⁸ Then the king returned to his palace. He ate no food. Nobody brought anything to him to give him pleasure. He was unable to sleep.

God shuts the lions' mouths

¹⁹ The king got up very early in the morning, at sunrise. He hurried to the cave where the lions were.
