Then Daniel took tar and cooking grease and hair. He boiled them down, made patties, and put them into the snake’s mouth. The snake swallowed them and burst open. Daniel said,“Look at what you have been worshipping!”
Then Daniel took pitch, fat, and hair, and boiled them together and made cakes, which he fed to the dragon. The dragon ate them, and burst open. Then Daniel said, ‘See what you have been worshipping!’

Therefore Daniel took pitch, and tallow, and hairs, and seethed (them) together; and he made gobbets, and gave (them) into the mouth of the dragon, and the dragon was all-broken. And Daniel said, Lo! whom ye worship. (And so Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and boiled it all up, and he made lumps of it, and put it into the mouth of the snake, and the snake burst apart. And Daniel said, Behold! whom or what ye worship.) [Therefore Daniel took pitch, and fatness, and hairs, and seethed together; and he made gobbets, and gave into the mouth of the dragon, and the dragon is burst. And Daniel said, Lo! whom ye worship.]
