12Then they came near before the king and said, O King, have you not put your name to an order that any man who makes a request to any god or man but you, O King, for thirty days, is to be put into the lions' hole? The king made answer and said, The thing is fixed by the law of the Medes and Persians which may not come to an end.

Respondió el rey y dijo: Verdad es, conforme á la ley de Media y de Persia, la cual no se abroga.
