21. The king therefore put them to death, and delivered Bel into the power of Daniel: who destroyed him, and his temple.
22. And there was a great dragon in that place, and the Babylonians worshipped him.
23. And the king said to Daniel: Behold thou canst not say now, that this is not a living god: adore him therefore.
24. And Daniel said: I adore the Lord my God: for he is the living God: but that is no living god.
25. But give me leave, O king, and I will kill this dragon without sword or club. And the king said: I give thee leave.
26. Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and boiled them together: and he made lumps, and put them into the dragon's mouth, and the dragon burst asunder. And he said: Behold him whom you worshipped.
