9 Har·boʹna,+ one of the court officials+ before the king, now said: “Also, there is the stake+ that Haʹman made for Morʹde·cai, who had spoken good concerning the king,+ standing in Haʹman’s house—fifty cubits* high.” At that the king said: “YOU men, hang him on it.”+

18 The wicked is a ransom for the righteous one;+ and the one dealing treacherously takes the place of the upright ones.+

24 And the king commanded, and they brought these able-bodied men who had accused* Daniel,+ and into the lions’ pit they threw them,+ their sons and their wives;+ and they had not reached the bottom of the pit before the lions had got the mastery over them, and all their bones they crushed.+
