Then the king continued, "You do not think Bel is a living god? Do you not see how much he eats and drinks every day?" (Daniel 14, 6)
Daniel began to laugh. "Do not be deceived, O king," he said; "it is only clay inside and bronze outside; it has never taken any food or drink." (Daniel 14, 7)
Enraged, the king called his priests and said to them, "Unless you tell me who it is that consumes these provisions, you shall die. (Daniel 14, 8)
But if you can show that Bel consumes them, Daniel shall die for blaspheming Bel." Daniel said to the king, "Let it be as you say!" (Daniel 14, 9)
There were seventy priests of Bel, besides their wives and children. When the king went with Daniel into the temple of Bel, (Daniel 14, 10)
the priests of Bel said, "See, we are going to leave. Do you, O king, set out the food and prepare the wine; then shut the door and seal it with your ring. (Daniel 14, 11)
After they departed the king set the food before Bel, while Daniel ordered his servants to bring some ashes, which they scattered through the whole temple; the king alone was present. Then they went outside, sealed the closed door with the king's ring, and departed. (Daniel 14, 14)
Early the next morning, the king came with Daniel. (Daniel 14, 16)
"Are the seals unbroken, Daniel?" he asked. And Daniel answered, "They are unbroken, O king." (Daniel 14, 17)
As soon as he had opened the door, the king looked at the table and cried aloud, "Great you are, O Bel; there is no trickery in you." (Daniel 14, 18)
But Daniel laughed and kept the king from entering. "Look at the floor," he said; "whose footprints are these?" (Daniel 14, 19)
"I see the footprints of men, women, and children!" said the king. (Daniel 14, 20)
