Daniel 6:4-9 Wherefore the princes and lords sought to pick out in Daniel some quarrel against the kingdom: yet could they find none occasion nor fault upon him. For why? He was so faithful, that there was no blame nor dishonesty found in him.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Wherefore the princes and lords sought to pick out in Daniel some quarrel against the kingdom: yet could they find none occasion nor fault upon him. For why? He was so faithful, that there was no blame nor dishonesty found in him. ⁵ Then said these men, "We will get no quarrel against this Daniel, except it be in the law of his God." ⁶ Upon this, went the princes and lords together unto the king, and said thus unto him, "King Darius, God save thy life forever. ⁷ All the great estates of the realm - as the princes, dukes, senators and judges - are determined to put out a commandment of the king, and to make a sure statute. Namely, that whoso desireth any petition, either of any god or man within this thirty days, except it be only of thee, O king: the same person may be cast into the lions' den. ⁸ Wherefore, O king, confirm thou this statute, and make a writing: that the thing which the Medes and Persians have ordained be not altered nor broken." ⁹ So Darius made the writing, and confirmed it.
