Daniel 6:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ The king returned to his palace. He didn’t eat anything that night. He didn’t ask for anything to be brought to him for his enjoyment. And he couldn’t sleep.

¹⁹ As soon as the sun began to rise, the king got up. He hurried to the lions’ den. ²⁰ When he got near it, he called out to Daniel. His voice was filled with great concern. He said, “Daniel! You serve the living God. You always serve him faithfully. So has he been able to save you from the lions?”
