“On the seventh day,
The king came
To mourn
For Daniel.
When he came
To the den,
He looked in.
There sat Daniel.
The king shouted
With a loud voice.
‘You are great!
O Lord!
God of Daniel!
There is no other
Besides you!’
Then he pulled
Daniel out.
He threw into the den
Those who had attempted
His destruction.
They were instantly eaten
Before his eyes.”
Thus, ends the great story of Daniel. On the 7th day, the king came to mourn the death of Daniel. Instead, he was surprised to see Daniel sitting in the den of lions. Then the king shouted out his praise for the God of Daniel, the Lord. There were no other gods like him. Next, he pulled Daniel out of the den. Finally, he threw those who had attempted the destruction of Daniel into the lion’s den. The lions immediately ate these men right before the eyes of the king.
