4 Then the administrators and the satraps sought to find a charge against Daniel regarding the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful. Neither was there any error or fault found in him. 5 Then these men said, |We will not find any charge against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.| 6 Then these administrators and satraps assembled together to the king, and said this to him, |King Darayavush, live forever. 7 All the administrators of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. 8 Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed.| 9 Therefore king Darayavush signed the writing and the decree.
