Daniel 6,17

15 Så kom disse mennene samlet til kongen og sa: "Husk, o konge, at i henhold til medernes og persernes lov, kan ingen dekret eller forordning som kongen fastsetter, endres."

16 Så ga kongen ordren, og Daniel ble brakt og kastet i løvehulen. Kongen sa til Daniel: "Må din Gud, som du stadig tjener, redde deg!"

En stein ble brakt og lagt over åpningen til hulen, og kongen forseglet den med sitt eget segl og med sine stormenns segl, slik at ingenting kunne endres angående Daniel.

18 Kongen vendte tilbake til sitt palass og tilbrakte natten fastende; han avslo all underholdning, og selv søvnen unngikk ham.

19 Ved daggry sto kongen opp og gikk i hast til løvehulen.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
