Bel And The Dragon 1:31-40 World English Bible (WEB)

31. who cast him into the lion’s den: where he was six days.

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.

33. Now there was in Jewry the prophet Habakkuk, who had made pottage, and had broken bread into a bowl, and was going into the field, for to bring it to the reapers.

34. But the angel of the Lord said to Habakkuk, Go carry the dinner that you have into Babylon to Daniel, in the lions’ den.

35. And Habakkuk said, Lord, I never saw Babylon; neither do I know where the den is.

36. Then 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.

37. And Habakkuk cried, saying, O Daniel, Daniel, take the dinner which God has sent you.

38. And Daniel said, You have remembered me, O God: neither have you forsaken them that love you.

39. So Daniel arose, and did eat: and the angel of God set Habakkuk in his own place again immediately.

40. Upon the seventh day the king came to bewail Daniel: and when he came to the den, he looked in, and, behold, Daniel was sitting.
