They threw Daniel into the lions' den, and he was there for six days.
There were seven lions in the den, and every day they had been given two human bodies and two sheep; but now they were given nothing, so that they would devour Daniel.
Now the prophet Habakkuk was in Judea; he had made a stew and had broken bread into a bowl, and was going into the field to take it to the reapers.
But the angel of the Lord said to Habakkuk,
"Take the food that you have to Babylon, to Daniel, in the lions' den."
Habakkuk said,
"Sir, I have never seen Babylon, and I know nothing about the den."
Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown of his head and carried him by his hair; with the speed of the wind he set him down in Babylon, right over the den.
Then Habakkuk shouted,
"Daniel, Daniel! Take the food that God has sent you."
Daniel said,
"You have remembered me, O God, and have not forsaken those who love you."
So Daniel got up and ate. And the angel of God immediately returned Habakkuk to his own place.
On the seventh day the king came to mourn for Daniel. When he came to the den he looked in, and there sat Daniel! The king shouted with a loud voice, "You are great, O Lord, the God of Daniel, and there is no other besides you!"
Then he pulled Daniel out, and threw into the den those who had attempted his destruction, and they were instantly eaten before his eyes.
