Daniel 6:3-5

Contemporary English Version

³ And he did his work so much better than the other governors and officials that the king decided to let him govern the whole kingdom.

⁴ The other men tried to find something wrong with the way Daniel did his work for the king. But they could not accuse him of anything wrong, because he was honest and faithful and did everything he was supposed to do. ⁵ Finally, they said to one another, “We will never be able to bring any charge against Daniel, unless it has to do with his religion.”
