26 And so Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and cooked them together. And he made lumps and put them into the dragon's mouth, and the dragon burst open. And he said, "Behold, this is what you worship."
27 When the Babylonians had heard this, they were greatly indignant. And gathering together against the king, they said, "The king has become a Jew. He has destroyed Bel, he has executed the dragon, and he has slaughtered the priests."
28 And when they came to the king, they said, "Deliver Daniel to us, otherwise we will execute you and your house."
29 Thus the king saw that they pressured him vehemently, and so, being compelled by necessity, he delivered Daniel to them.
30 And they cast him into the den of lions, and he was there for six days.
31 Furthermore, in the den there were seven lions, and they had given to them two carcasses every day, and two sheep, but then they were not given to them, so that they would devour Daniel.
32 Now there was in Judea a prophet called Habakkuk, and he had cooked a small meal and had broken bread in a bowl, and he was going into the field, to bring it to the harvesters.
