Daniel 6:9

Daniel's Integrity And His Entrapment By His Enemies

⁸ Now, O king, establish the decree by signing the document. That it will not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be altered. ⁹ Therefore King Darius signed the document, that is, the injunction. ¹⁰ Daniel knew that the decree was signed. He went into his house. His windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem. He kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, like he did before.
