2 And Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar himself as king sent to assemble the satraps, the prefects+ and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the police magistrates+ and all the administrators of the jurisdictional districts to come to the inauguration+ of the image that Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar the king had set up.

7 All the high officials of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the high royal officers and the governors, have taken counsel together to establish a royal statute+ and to enforce an interdict, that whoever makes a petition to any god or man* for thirty days except to you, O king, should be thrown to the lions’ pit.+
