Daniel 6:4-9 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.

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ 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 Daryavesh, 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 Daryavesh signed the writing and the decree.
