26 But give me leave, O king, and I shall kill this dragon without sword or staff. The king said, I give you leave.
27 Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and did seethe them together, and made lumps thereof: this he put in the dragon’s mouth, so the dragon did eat and burst in sunder: and Daniel said, Behold, these are the gods you⌃ worship.
28 When they of Babylon heard that, they took great indignation, and conspired against the king, saying, The king is become a Jew, and he has pulled down Bel, and slain the dragon, and put the priests to the sword.
29 So they came to the king, and said, Deliver us Daniel, or else we will destroy you and your house.
30 Now when the king saw that they pressed him sore, being constrained, the king delivered Daniel to them:
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.
