It pleasedH6925+H8232 DariusH1868 to setH6966 overH5922 the kingdomH4437 an hundredH3969 and twentyH6243 princesH324, which should beH1934 over the wholeH3606 kingdomH4437;
And overH5924 theseH4481 threeH8532 presidentsH5632; of whomH4481 DanielH1841 was firstH2298: thatH459 the princesH324 mightH1934 giveH3052 accountsH2941 unto them, and the kingH4430 should haveH1934 noH3809 damageH5142.
ThenH116 thisH1836 DanielH1841 wasH1934 preferredH5330 aboveH5922 the presidentsH5632 and princesH324, becauseH3606+H6903 an excellentH3493 spiritH7308 was in him; and the kingH4430 thoughtH6246 to setH6966 him overH5922 the wholeH3606 realmH4437.
ThenH116 the presidentsH5632 and princesH324 soughtH1934+H1156 to findH7912 occasionH5931 against DanielH1841 concerningH6655 the kingdomH4437; butH3606 they couldH3202 findH7912 noneH3809 occasionH5931 norH3809 faultH7844; forasmuchH6903 as he was faithfulH540, neitherH3809 was there anyH3606 errorH7960 or faultH7844 foundH7912 in himH5922.
ThenH116 saidH560 theseH479 menH1400, We shall notH3809 findH7912 anyH3606 occasionH5931 againstH5922 thisH1836 DanielH1841, exceptH3861 we findH7912 it against him concerning the lawH1882 of his GodH426.
ThenH116 theseH459 presidentsH5632 and princesH324 assembled togetherH7284 to the kingH4430, and saidH560 thusH3652 unto himH5922, KingH4430 DariusH1868, liveH2418 for everH5957. {assembled…: or, came tumultuously}
AllH3606 the presidentsH5632 of the kingdomH4437, the governorsH5460, and the princesH324, the counsellorsH1907, and the captainsH6347, have consulted togetherH3272 to establishH6966 a royalH4430 statuteH7010, and to make a firmH8631 decreeH633, that whosoever shall askH1156 a petitionH1159 ofH4481 anyH3606 GodH426 or manH606 forH5705 thirtyH8533 daysH3118, saveH3861 of theeH4481, O kingH4430, he shall be castH7412 into the denH1358 of lionsH744. {decree: or, interdict}
NowH3705, O kingH4430, establishH6966 the decreeH633, and signH7560 the writingH3792, that it be notH3809 changedH8133, according to the lawH1882 of the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540, which alterethH5709 notH3809. {altereth not: Cald. passeth not}
WhereforeH3606+H1836+H6903 kingH4430 DariusH1868 signedH7560 the writingH3792 and the decreeH633.
Now when DanielH1841 knewH3046 that the writingH3792 was signedH7560, he wentH5954 into his houseH1005; and his windowsH3551 being openH6606 in his chamberH5952 towardH5049 JerusalemH3390, he kneeledH1289 uponH5922 his kneesH1291 threeH8532 timesH2166 a dayH3118, and prayedH6739, and gave thanksH3029 beforeH6925 his GodH426, asH6903+H3606 he didH1934+H5648 aforetimeH4481+H1836+H6928.
ThenH116 theseH479 menH1400 assembledH7284, and foundH7912 DanielH1841 prayingH1156 and making supplicationH2604 beforeH6925 his GodH426.
ThenH116 they came nearH7127, and spakeH560 beforeH6925 the kingH4430 concerningH5922 the king'sH4430 decreeH633; Hast thou notH3809 signedH7560 a decreeH633, that everyH3606 manH606 that shall askH1156 a petition ofH4481 anyH3606 GodH426 or manH606 withinH5705 thirtyH8533 daysH3118, saveH3861 of theeH4481, O kingH4430, shall be castH7412 into the denH1358 of lionsH744? The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560, The thingH4406 is trueH3330, according to the lawH1882 of the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540, which alterethH5709 notH3809.
ThenH116 answeredH6032 they and saidH560 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, That DanielH1841, which is ofH4481 the childrenH1123 of the captivityH1547 of JudahH3061, regardethH7761+H2942 notH3809 theeH5922, O kingH4430, nor the decreeH633 that thou hast signedH7560, but makethH1156 his petitionH1159 threeH8532 timesH2166 a dayH3118.
ThenH116 the kingH4430, when he heardH8086 these wordsH4406, was soreH7690 displeasedH888 with himself, and setH7761 his heartH1079 onH5922 DanielH1841 to deliverH7804 him: and he labouredH1934+H7712 tillH5705 the going downH4606 of the sunH8122 to deliverH5338 him.
ThenH116 theseH479 menH1400 assembledH7284 untoH5922 the kingH4430, and saidH560 unto the kingH4430, KnowH3046, O kingH4430, that the lawH1882 of the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540 is, That noH3606 decreeH633 nor statuteH7010 which the kingH4430 establishethH6966 may be changedH8133.
ThenH116 the kingH4430 commandedH560, and they broughtH858 DanielH1841, and castH7412 him into the denH1358 of lionsH744. Now the kingH4430 spakeH6032 and saidH560 unto DanielH1841, Thy GodH426 whom thouH607 servestH6399 continuallyH8411, he will deliverH7804 thee.
And aH2298 stoneH69 was broughtH858, and laidH7761 uponH5922 the mouthH6433 of the denH1358; and the kingH4430 sealedH2857 it with his own signetH5824, and with the signetH5824 of his lordsH7261; that the purposeH6640 might notH3809 be changedH8133 concerning DanielH1841.
ThenH116 the kingH4430 wentH236 to his palaceH1965, and passed the nightH956 fastingH2908: neitherH3809 were instrumentsH1761 of musick broughtH5954 beforeH6925 him: and his sleepH8139 wentH5075 from himH5922. {instruments…: or, table}
ThenH116 the kingH4430 aroseH6966 very earlyH8238 in the morningH5053, and wentH236 in hasteH927 unto the denH1358 of lionsH744.
And when he cameH7127 to the denH1358, he criedH2200 with a lamentableH6088 voiceH7032 unto DanielH1841: and the kingH4430 spakeH6032 and saidH560 to DanielH1841, O DanielH1841, servantH5649 of the livingH2417 GodH426, is thy GodH426, whom thou servestH6399 continuallyH8411, ableH3202 to deliverH7804 thee fromH4481 the lionsH744?
ThenH116 saidH4449 DanielH1841 untoH5974 the kingH4430, O kingH4430, liveH2418 for everH5957.
My GodH426 hath sentH7972 his angelH4398, and hath shutH5463 the lions'H744 mouthsH6433, that they have notH3809 hurtH2255 me: forasmuch asH3606+H6903 beforeH6925 him innocencyH2136 was foundH7912 in me; and alsoH638 beforeH6925 thee, O kingH4430, have I doneH5648 noH3809 hurtH2248.
ThenH116 was the kingH4430 exceedingH7690 gladH2868 for himH5922, and commandedH560 that they should takeH5267 DanielH1841 upH5267 out ofH4481 the denH1358. So DanielH1841 was taken upH5267 out ofH4481 the denH1358, and noH3809 mannerH3606 of hurtH2257 was foundH7912 upon him, because he believedH540 in his GodH426.
And the kingH4430 commandedH560, and they broughtH858 thoseH479 menH1400 which had accusedH399+H7170 DanielH1841, and they castH7412 them into the denH1358 of lionsH744, themH581, their childrenH1123, and their wivesH5389; and the lionsH744 had the masteryH5705+H7981 of them, and brakeH1855 allH3606 their bonesH1635 in piecesH1855 or everH3809 they cameH4291 at the bottomH773 of the denH1358.
ThenH116 kingH4430 DariusH1868 wroteH3790 unto allH3606 peopleH5972, nationsH524, and languagesH3961, that dwellH1753 in allH3606 the earthH772; PeaceH8001 be multipliedH7680 unto you.
IH4481+H6925 makeH7761 a decreeH2942, That in everyH3606 dominionH7985 of my kingdomH4437 men trembleH1934+H2112 and fearH1763 beforeH4481+H6925 the GodH426 of DanielH1841: for he is the livingH2417 GodH426, and stedfastH7011 for everH5957, and his kingdomH4437 that which shall notH3809 be destroyedH2255, and his dominionH7985 shall be even untoH5705 the endH5491.
He deliverethH7804 and rescuethH5338, and he workethH5648 signsH852 and wondersH8540 in heavenH8065 and in earthH772, who hath deliveredH7804 DanielH1841 fromH4481 the powerH3028 of the lionsH744. {power: Cald. hand}
So thisH1836 DanielH1841 prosperedH6744 in the reignH4437 of DariusH1868, and in the reignH4437 of CyrusH3567 the PersianH6543.

WhereforeH6903+H3606 at thatH1836 timeH2166 certainH1400 ChaldeansH3779 came nearH7127, and accusedH7170+H399 the JewsH3062.
And DavidH1732 behaved himself wiselyH7919 in all his waysH1870; and the LORDH3068 was with him. {behaved…: or, prospered}
And the menH582 were afraidH3372, because they were broughtH935 into Joseph'sH3130 houseH1004; and they saidH559, BecauseH1697 of the moneyH3701 that was returnedH7725 in our sacksH572 at the first timeH8462 are we brought inH935; that he may seek occasionH1556 against us, and fallH5307 upon us, and takeH3947 us for bondmenH5650, and our assesH2543. {seek…: Heb. roll himself upon us}
And JonathanH3083 spakeH1696 goodH2896 of DavidH1732 unto SaulH7586 his fatherH1, and saidH559 unto him, Let not the kingH4428 sinH2398 against his servantH5650, against DavidH1732; because he hath not sinnedH2398 against thee, and because his worksH4639 have been to thee-ward veryH3966 goodH2896:
But his fatherH1 and his motherH517 knewH3045 not that it was of the LORDH3068, that he soughtH1245 an occasionH8385 against the PhilistinesH6430: for at that timeH6256 the PhilistinesH6430 had dominionH4910 over IsraelH3478.
For he did putH7760 his lifeH5315 in his handH3709, and slewH5221 the PhilistineH6430, and the LORDH3068 wroughtH6213 a greatH1419 salvationH8668 for all IsraelH3478: thou sawestH7200 it, and didst rejoiceH8055: wherefore then wilt thou sinH2398 against innocentH5355 bloodH1818, to slayH4191 DavidH1732 without a causeH2600?
The wickedH7563 plottethH2161 against the justH6662, and gnashethH2786 upon him with his teethH8127. {plotteth: or, practiseth}
Then AhimelechH288 answeredH6030 the kingH4428, and saidH559, And who is so faithfulH539 among all thy servantsH5650 as DavidH1732, which is the king'sH4428 son in lawH2860, and goethH5493 at thy biddingH4928, and is honourableH3513 in thine houseH1004?
SaidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, Ye have broughtG4374 thisG5129 manG444 unto meG3427, asG5613 one that pervertethG654 the peopleG2992: andG2532, beholdG2400, IG1473, having examinedG350 him beforeG1799 youG5216, have foundG2147 noG3762 faultG158 inG1722 thisG5126 manG444 touching those thingsG3739 whereofG2596 ye accuseG2723 himG846:
NoG235, nor yetG3761 HerodG2264: forG1063 I sentG375 youG5209 toG4314 himG846; andG2532, loG2400, nothingG3762 worthyG514 of deathG2288 isG2076 doneG4238 unto himG846.
The LORDH3068 will not leaveH5800 him in his handH3027, nor condemnH7561 him when he is judgedH8199.
PilateG4091 thereforeG3767 wentG1831 forthG1854 againG3825, andG2532 saithG3004 unto themG846, BeholdG2396, I bringG71 himG846 forthG1854 to youG5213, thatG2443 ye may knowG1097 thatG3754 I findG2147 noG3762 faultG156 inG1722 himG846.
An unjustH5766 manH376 is an abominationH8441 to the justH6662: and he that is uprightH3477 in the wayH1870 is abominationH8441 to the wickedH7563.
ButG1161 whatG3739 I doG4160, thatG2532 I will doG4160, thatG2443 I may cut offG1581 occasionG874 from them which desireG2309 occasionG874; thatG2443 whereinG1722+G3739 they gloryG2744, they may be foundG2147 evenG2532 asG2531 weG2249.
Again, I consideredH7200 all travailH5999, and every rightH3788 workH4639, that for this a manH376 is enviedH7068 of his neighbourH7453. This is also vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307. {every…: Heb. all the rightness of work} {for this…: Heb. this is the envy of a man from his neighbour}

Then saidH559 they, ComeH3212, and let us deviseH2803 devicesH4284 against JeremiahH3414; for the lawH8451 shall not perishH6 from the priestH3548, nor counselH6098 from the wiseH2450, nor the wordH1697 from the prophetH5030. ComeH3212, and let us smiteH5221 him with the tongueH3956, and let us not give heedH7181 to any of his wordsH1697. {with…: or, for the tongue}
I willG1014 thereforeG3767 that the younger womenG3501 marryG1060, bear childrenG5041, guide the houseG3616, giveG1325 noneG3367 occasionG874 to the adversaryG480 toG5484 speak reproachfullyG3059. {to speak…: Gr. for their railing}
Yet, LORDH3068, thou knowestH3045 all their counselH6098 against me to slayH4194 me: forgiveH3722 not their iniquityH5771, neither blot outH4229 their sinH2403 from thy sightH6440, but let them be overthrownH3782 beforeH6440 thee; dealH6213 thus with them in the timeH6256 of thine angerH639. {to slay…: Heb. for death}
SoundG5199 speechG3056, that cannot be condemnedG176; thatG2443 he that is ofG1537 the contrary partG1727 may be ashamedG1788, havingG2192 noG3367 evilG5337 thingG3367 to sayG3004 ofG4012 youG5216.
For I heardH8085 the defamingH1681 of manyH7227, fearH4032 on every sideH5439. ReportH5046, say they, and we will reportH5046 it. All my familiarsH582+H7965 watchedH8104 for my haltingH6763+H6761, saying, Peradventure he will be enticedH6601, and we shall prevailH3201 against him, and we shall takeH3947 our revengeH5360 on him. {All…: Heb.

HavingG2192 yourG5216 conversationG391 honestG2570 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484: thatG2443, whereasG1722+G3739 they speak againstG2635 youG5216 asG5613 evildoersG2555, they mayG1392 byG1537 your goodG2570 worksG2041, which they shall beholdG2029, glorifyG1392 GodG2316 inG1722 the dayG2250 of visitationG1984. {whereas: or, wherein}

IfG1487 ye be reproachedG3679 forG1722 the nameG3686 of ChristG5547, happyG3107 are ye; forG3754 the spiritG4151 of gloryG1391 andG2532 of GodG2316 restethG373 uponG1909 youG5209: onG2596+G3303 their partG846 he is evil spoken ofG987, butG1161 onG2596 your partG5209 he is glorifiedG1392.
