Daniel 6:6-8

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ Therefore, the rulers and these governors went together to the king, and said to him, “King Darius, live forever.

⁷ “All the rulers of your kingdom, the officers and governors, the counselors and dukes, have consulted together to make a decree for the king, and to establish a statute: that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

⁸ “Now, O king, confirm the decree, and seal the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which alters not.”
