²³ My God has sent his angel to keep the lions' mouths shut, and they have done me no damage: because I was seen to be without sin before him; and further, before you, O King, I have done no wrong.

²⁵ He made answer and said, Look! I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are not damaged; and the form of the fourth is like a son of the gods.

³ The man whose heart is unmoved you will keep in peace, because his hope is in you.

²⁰ And they were helped against them, so that the Hagarites, and those with them, were given into their power. For they sent up prayers to God in the fight, and he gave ear to them, because they put their faith in him.

²⁷ And the captains, the chiefs, and the rulers, and the king's wise men who had come together, saw these men, over whose bodies the fire had no power, and not a hair of their heads was burned, and their coats were not changed, and there was no smell of fire about them.

²⁸ Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said, Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has sent his angel and kept his servants safe who had faith in him, and who put the king's word on one side and gave up their bodies to the fire, so that they might not be servants or worshippers of any other god but their God.

⁸ It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in man.

⁹ It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in rulers.

²⁰ And early in the morning they got up and went out to the waste land of Tekoa: and when they were going out, Jehoshaphat took his station and said to them, Give ear to me, O Judah and you people of Jerusalem: have faith in the Lord your God and you will be safe; have faith in his prophets and all will go well for you.

³³ Who through faith overcame kingdoms, did righteousness, got their reward, kept the mouths of lions shut,

²³ And Jesus said to him, If you are able! All things are possible to him who has faith.

¹⁸ Then they got a stone and put it over the mouth of the hole, and it was stamped with the king's stamp and with the stamp of the lords, so that the decision about Daniel might not be changed.

¹⁴ Then they made answer and said before the king, Daniel, one of the prisoners of Judah, has no respect for you, O King, or for the order signed by you, but three times a day he makes his prayer to God.

¹⁰ The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the upright man running into it is safe.

³ Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

⁴ Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.

⁵ Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

⁶ Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:

⁴⁰ And the Lord will be their help, and keep them safe: he will take them out of the hands of the evil-doers, and be their saviour, because they had faith in him.

¹¹ Then Huram, king of Tyre, sent Solomon an answer in writing, saying, Because of his love for his people the Lord has made you king over them.

¹² And Huram said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, maker of heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, full of wisdom and good sense, to be the builder of a house for the Lord and a house for himself as king.

⁷ And these words of Solomon made Hiram glad, and he said, Now may the Lord be praised who has given to David a wise son to be king over this great people.

⁹ And Jethro was glad because the Lord had been good to Israel, freeing them from the power of the Egyptians.
