Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshaz´zar, was astonished for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshaz´zar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshaz´zar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.
All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counselors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
