	CSB Christian Standard Bible	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
6	So the administrators and satraps went together to the king and said to him, “May King Darius live forever.	Then these high officials and satraps came by agreement to the king and said to him, “O King Darius, live forever!	So these administrators and satraps went as a group to the king and said: “May King Darius live forever!
7	All the administrators of the kingdom —the prefects, satraps, advisers, and governors—have agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce an edict that, for thirty days, anyone who petitions any god or man except you, the king, will be thrown into the lions’ den.	All the high officials of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the counselors and the governors are agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce an injunction, that whoever makes petition to any god or man for thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.	The royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers and governors have all agreed that the king should issue an edict and enforce the decree that anyone who prays to any god or human being during the next thirty days, except to you, Your Majesty, shall be thrown into the lions’ den.
8	Therefore, Your Majesty, establish the edict and sign the document so that, as a law of the Medes and Persians, it is irrevocable and cannot be changed.”	Now, O king, establish the injunction and sign the document, so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and the Persians, which cannot be revoked.”	Now, Your Majesty, issue the decree and put it in writing so that it cannot be altered—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”
9	So King Darius signed the written edict.	Therefore King Darius signed the document and injunction.	So King Darius put the decree in writing.
