Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Daniel 6:16

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

16. Thy God . . . will deliver thee —The heathen believed in the interposition of the gods at times in favor of their worshippers. Darius recognized Daniel's God as a god, but not the only true God. He had heard of the deliverance of the three youths in Daniel 3:26 ; Daniel 3:27 and hence augurs Daniel's deliverance. I am not my own master, and cannot deliver thee, however much I wish it. "Thy God will." Kings are the slaves of their flatterers. Men admire piety to God in others, however disregarding Him themselves. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-17" class="com-number"
