Daniel 6:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of the lions. And the king said to Daniel: Thy God, whom thou always servest, he will deliver thee.

¹⁷ And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den: which the king sealed with his own ring, and with the ring of his nobles, that nothing should be done against Daniel.

¹⁸ And the king went away to his house and laid himself down without taking supper, and meat was not set before him, and even sleep departed from him.
