25 Then Darius the king wrote to all the (C)peoples, nations, and men of every tongue who were inhabiting all the land: “(D)May your [b]peace abound! 26 [c]I (E)make a decree that in all the [d]dominion of my kingdom, men are to fear and be in dread before the God of Daniel;

For He is the (F)living God and (G)enduring forever,
And (H)His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed,
And His [e]dominion will be unto the end.
