Injustice in Daniel
- Nebuchadnezzar, after first trying to burn to death the three Hebrews,
now decrees that everyone who says anything against the Hebrew god "shall be cut
in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill." 3:29
- After going through a rather bizarre ordeal, inflicted upon him by God,
Nebuchadnezzar heaps praise upon God -- in whose eyes "all the inhabitants of
the earth are reputed as nothing." 4:34-35
- King Darius, after trying to feed Daniel to the lions, orders those who accused Daniel (and their wives and children) to be cast into the lion den. "And the lions ... brake all their bones in pieces."
6:24
