Daniel 6:17-19

Modern English Version

Daniel Saved From the Lions

¹⁷ 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 lords so that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel. ¹⁸ Then the king went to his palace and passed the night fasting, and no instruments of music were brought before him. And his sleep fled from him.

¹⁹ Then the king arose very early in the morning and went in haste to the den of lions.
