The decree was issued that the wise men were to be executed, and they searched for Daniel and his friends, to execute them.

The king interviewed them, and among all of them, no one was found equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they began to serve in the king’s court.

The royal scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and the order was written exactly as Haman commanded. It was intended for the royal satraps, the governors of each of the provinces, and the officials of each ethnic group and written for each province in its own script and to each ethnic group in its own language. It was written in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with the royal signet ring.

Can a corrupt throne—
one that creates trouble by law—
become Your ally?

A wicked ruler over a helpless people
is like a roaring lion or a charging bear.

Woe to those enacting crooked statutes
and writing oppressive laws

So King Darius signed the document.
