Parallel
Daniel 6:12
Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible
Et accedentes locuti sunt regi super edicto : Rex, numquid non constituisti ut omnis homo qui rogaret quemquam de diis et hominibus usque ad dies triginta, nisi te, rex, mitteretur in lacum leonum ? Ad quos respondens rex, ait : Verus est sermo juxta decretum Medorum atque Persarum, quod prævaricari non licet.
So they approached the king and asked about his royal decree: “Did you not sign a decree that for thirty days any man who petitions any god or man except you, O king, will be thrown into the den of lions?” The king replied, “According to the law of the Medes and Persians the order stands, and it cannot be repealed.”
