Daniel 6:13-15
New English Translation

13 Then they said to the king, “Daniel, who is one of the captives[a] from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the edict that you issued. Three times daily he offers his prayer.”[b]

14 When the king heard this,[c] he was very upset and began thinking about[d] how he might rescue Daniel. Until late afternoon[e] he was struggling to find a way to rescue him. 15 Then those men came by collusion to the king and[f] said to him,[g] “Recall,[h] O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no edict or decree that the king issues can be changed.”
