So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.Daniel 6:26 · אֱלָהֵ֣הּ · אֱלָהָ֣אI make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and steadfast forever, His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shall be even to the end.
