Daniel 6:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸ Then the king retired to his palace to spend the night fasting. He enjoyed no entertainment, and he couldn’t sleep.

¹⁹ The king got up at dawn and went quickly to the lions’ pit. ²⁰ As he approached where Daniel was in the pit, he cried out to him^[a] in a voice filled with anguish, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve constantly, been able to deliver you from the lions?”
