Daniel 14:28–36
28When the people of Babylon heard that, they took great indignation, and conspired against the king, saying, “The king has become a Jew. He has pulled down Bel, slain the dragon, and put the priests to the sword.”↗
29So they came to the king, and said, “Deliver Daniel to us, or else we will destroy you and your house.”↗
30Now when the king saw that they trapped him, being constrained, the king delivered Daniel to them.↗
31They cast him into the lion’s den, where he was six days.↗
32There were seven lions in the den, and they had been giving them two carcasses and two sheep every day, which then were not given to them, intending that they would devour Daniel.↗
33Now there was in Jewry the prophet Habakkuk, who had made stew, and had broken bread into a bowl. He was going into the field to bring it to the reapers.↗
34But the angel of the Lord said to Habakkuk, “Go carry the dinner that you have into Babylon to Daniel, in the lions’ den.”↗
35Habakkuk said, “Lord, I never saw Babylon. I don’t know where the den is.”↗
36Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown, and lifted him up by the hair of his head, and with the blast of his breath set him in Babylon over the den.↗
