12 So they approached the king and said to him, |Did you not issue an edict to the effect that for the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human other than to you, O king, would be thrown into a den of lions?| The king replied, |That is correct, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed.| 13 Then they said to the king, |Daniel, who is one of the captives from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the edict that you issued. Three times daily he offers his prayer.| Daniel 6:12-13, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
