Daniel 6:11-13
Jubilee Bible 2000
11 ¶ Then these men assembled and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
12 Then they went and spoke before the king concerning the royal decree; Hast thou not confirmed a decree that whoever shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Media and Persia, which does not change.
13 Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the sons of the captivity of the Jews, has not regarded thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast confirmed, but makes his petition three times a day.

Daniel 6:11-13
New International Version
11 Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help.(A) 12 So they went to the king and spoke to him about his royal decree: “Did you not publish a decree that during the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human being except to you, Your Majesty, would be thrown into the lions’ den?”
The king answered, “The decree stands—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”(B)
13 Then they said to the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah,(C) pays no attention(D) to you, Your Majesty, or to the decree you put in writing. He still prays three times a day.”
