Daniel 6:16-18

New Life Version

¹⁶ So the king had Daniel brought in and thrown into the place where lions were kept. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, Whom you are faithful to serve, save you.” ¹⁷ And a stone was brought and laid over the mouth of the hole. The king marked it with his own special ring and with the rings of his important men, so that no one could save Daniel. ¹⁸ Then the king went to his beautiful house and spent the night without food and sleep. And nothing was brought to make him feel better.
