My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

Verse 22 is found in chapter 6 of Daniel. Darius discovers that Daniel has survived and hears that God sent His angel to shut the lions’ mouths. Daniel attributes his preservation to his innocence before God and also before the king. Later, the accusers receive the punishment they had sought for Daniel. The judicial reversal confirms Daniel’s narrative pattern: faithfulness is vindicated, and the conspiracy turns against its authors.

Daniel aber redete mit dem König: Der König lebe ewiglich!
El Dios mío envió su ángel, el cual cerró la boca de los leones, para que no me hiciesen mal: porque delante de él se halló en mí justicia: y aun delante de ti, oh rey, yo no he hecho lo que no debiese.
Mi Dios envió a su ángel, que cerró la boca de los leones, y no me hicieron daño, porque ante él fui hallado inocente. Tampoco ante ti, rey, he hecho nada malo».
Mon Dieu a envoyé son ange et fermé la gueule des lions, qui ne m'ont fait aucun mal, parce que j'ai été trouvé innocent devant lui; et devant toi non plus, ô roi, je n'ai rien fait de mauvais.
L’Iddio mio ha mandato il suo Angelo, il quale ha turata la bocca de’ leoni, talchè non mi hanno guasto; perciocchè io sono stato trovato innocente nel suo cospetto; ed anche inverso te, o re, non ho commesso alcun misfatto.
O meu Deus enviou o seu anjo, e fechou a boca dos leões, para que não me fizessem dano, porque foi achada em mim inocência diante dele; e também contra ti, ó rei, não tenho cometido delito algum.
我的上帝差遣使者封住獅子的口,叫獅子不傷我,因我在上帝面前無辜。王啊,在你面前我也沒有做過任何虧損的事。」
