35. Habakkuk answered, “Sir, I have never been to Babylon, and I don't know where the pit of lions is.”
36. So the angel seized the prophet by the hair and took him to Babylon with the speed of the wind. He set him down near the pit of lions.
37. Habakkuk called out, “Daniel, Daniel! God has sent you some food. Here, take it!”
38. When Daniel heard Habakkuk, he prayed, “God, you did remember me; you never abandon those who love you.”
39. Then he got up and ate the meal, and God's angel immediately took Habakkuk home.
40. Seven days after Daniel had been thrown to the lions, the king went to the pit to mourn for him. When he got there and looked in, there sat Daniel.
41. The king shouted, “O Lord, the God of Daniel, how great you are. You alone are God.”
42. So he pulled Daniel out of the pit and had those who tried to kill Daniel thrown into it. And the lions ate them immediately, while the king watched.
