Thenª answeredª° they and saidª° beforeª the king,ª That¹ Daniel,ª which¹ [is] ofª the childrenª of the captivityª of¹ Judah,ª regardethªª°¹ notª thee,² O king,ª nor the decreeª that¹ thou hast signed,ª° but makethª° his petitionª threeª timesª a day.ª" {Dan 6:4-13} + "Andª when they foundª° themª not,ª they drewª° Jasonª andª certainª brethrenª untoª the¹ rulers of the city,ª crying,ª°² Theseª that have turned²° the world² upside downª°¹¹ are comeª° hitherª also;ª ...
