Find the verses in Daniel 6:

1.  "I decree that everyone throughout my Kingdom should tremble with fear before the God of Daniel.  For he is the living God, and he will endure forever.  His kingdom will never be destroyed, and his rule will never end."

2.  "Daniel soon proved himself more capable than all the other administrators and high officers.  Because of Daniel's great ability, the king made plans to place him over the entire empire."

3.  "In the evening the men went together to the king and said, "Your Majesty, you know that according to the law of the Medes and the Persians, no law that the king signs can be changed."

4.  "Then the other administrators and high officers began searching for some fault in the way Daniel was handling government affairs, but they couldn't find anything to criticize or condemn.  He was faithful, always responsible, and completely trustworthy."

5.  "But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem.  He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God."

6. "So at last the king gave orders for Daniel to be attested and thrown into the den of lions.  The king said to him, "May your God, whom you serve so faithfully, rescue you."

7.  "So they concluded, "Our only chance of finding grounds for accusing Daniel will be in connection with the rules of his religion."

8.  "So King Darius signed the law.'

9.  "Then they told the king, "That man Daniel, one of the captives from Judah, is ignoring you and your law.  He still prays for his God three times a day."

10.  "He rescues and saves his people; he performs miraculous signs and wonders in the heavens and on earth.  He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions."

11.  "A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den.  The king sealed the stone with his own royal seal and the seals of his nobles, so that no one could rescue Daniel."

12.  "So the administrators and high officers went to the king and said, "Long live King Darius!"

13.  "So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian."

14.  "Very early next morning, the king got up and hurried out to the lions' den."

15.  "Then the officials went together to Daniel's house and found him praying and asking for God's help."

16.  "Then King Darius sent this message to the people of every race and nation and language throughout the world:  Peace and prosperity to you!"

17.  "When he got there, he called out in anguish, "Daniel, servant of the living God! Was your God,  whom you serve so faithfully, able to rescue you from the lions?"

18.  "We are all in agreement - we administrators, officials, high officers, advisers, and governors - that the king should make a law that will be strictly enforced.  Give orders that for next thirty days any person who prays to anyone, divine or human - except to you, Your Majesty -  will be thrown into the den of lions."

19.  "Daniel answered, "Long live the king!

20.  "Hearing this, the king was deeply troubled, and he tried to think of a way to save Daniel.  He spent the rest of the day looking for a way to get Daniel out of this predicament."

21.  "Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night fasting.  He refused his usual entertainment and couldn't sleep at all that night."

22.  "My God sent his angel to shut the lions' mouths so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his sight.  And I  have not wronged you, Your Majesty."

23.   "Then the king gave orders to arrest the men who had maliciously accused Daniel.  He had them thrown into the lions' den, along with their wives and children.  The lions leaped on them and tore them apart before they even hit the floor of the den."

24.  "The king was overjoyed and ordered that Daniel be lifted from the den.  Not a scratch was found on him, for he had trusted in his God."

25.  "Then the king gave orders to arrest the men who had maliciously accused Daniel.  He had them thrown into the lions' den, along with their wives and children.  The lions leaped on them and tore them apart before they even hit the floor of the den."

26.  "The king also chose Daniel and two others as administrators to supervise the high officers and protect the king's interests."
