Daniel 6:4

Daniel's Integrity And His Entrapment By His Enemies

³ Now this Daniel was distinguishing himself above the other supervisors and the satraps, for he had an extraordinary spirit. In fact, the king intended to appoint him over the entire kingdom. ⁴ Consequently the supervisors and satraps were trying to find some pretext against Daniel in connection with administrative matters. But they were unable to find any such damaging evidence, because he was trustworthy and guilty of no negligence or corruption. ⁵ So these men concluded, "We won't find any pretext against this man Daniel unless it is in connection with the law of his God."
