original sample below in order to practice watercolor or colored pencil techniques on top of
the printed digital tracing. Lion's den, Daniel
The Story of Daniel in the lion's den is found in the book of Daniel 6:16.
16 So the king gave the order, and
they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to
Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”
17
A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king
sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so
that Daniel’s situation might not be changed. 18
Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating
and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not
sleep.
19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. 20
When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice,
“Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve
continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?”
21 Daniel answered, “May the king live forever! 22
My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have
not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever
done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.”
23
The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den.
And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him,
because he had trusted in his God.
24
At the king’s command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were
brought in and thrown into the lions’ den, along with their wives and
children. And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions
overpowered them and crushed all their bones.
