8 Nå, o konge, utsted dekretet og signer det slik at det ikke kan endres, i henhold til medernes og persernes lov, som ikke kan oppheves."

9 Slik satte kong Darius sin signatur på det skriftlige dekretet.

Da Daniel visste at dekretet var signert, gikk han til sitt hus, hvor han hadde vinduer i sitt øvre rom åpne mot Jerusalem. Han knelte ned tre ganger om dagen, ba og takket sin Gud, slik han hadde gjort tidligere.

11 Da kom disse mennene samlet og fant Daniel bedende og søkende nåde fra sin Gud.

12 Så nærmet de seg kongen og talte om kongens dekret: "Har du ikke signert en forordning om at enhver person som ber til noen gud eller menneske unntatt til deg, o konge, i tretti dager, skal kastes i løvehulen?" Kongen svarte: "Dekretet står fast, i henhold til medernes og persernes lov, som ikke kan tilbakekalles."
