1:32 And in the den there were seven lions, and they had given them
every day two carcases, and two sheep: which then were not given to
them, to the intent they might devour Daniel.
1:33 Now there was in Jewry a prophet, called Habbacuc, who had made
pottage, and had broken bread in a bowl, and was going into the field,
for to bring it to the reapers.
1:34 But the angel of the Lord said unto Habbacuc, Go, carry the dinner
that thou hast into Babylon unto Daniel, who is in the lions’ den.
1:35 And Habbacuc said, Lord, I never saw Babylon; neither do I know
where the den is.
1:36 Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown, and bare him by
the hair of his head, and through the vehemency of his spirit set him
in Babylon over the den.
1:37 And Habbacuc cried, saying, O Daniel, Daniel, take the dinner
which God hath sent thee.
1:38 And Daniel said, Thou hast remembered me, O God: neither hast thou
forsaken them that seek thee and love thee.
1:39 So Daniel arose, and did eat: and the angel of the Lord set
Habbacuc in his own place again immediately.
1:40 Upon the seventh day the king went to bewail Daniel: and when he
came to the den, he looked in, and behold, Daniel was sitting.
1:41 Then cried the king with a loud voice, saying, Great art Lord God
of Daniel, and there is none other beside thee.
1:42 And he drew him out, and cast those that were the cause of his
destruction into the den: and they were devoured in a moment before his
face.
