Bel and the Dragon

Bel and the Dragon 1:11

καὶ εἶπαν οἱ ἱερεῖς τοῦ Βήλ• ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ἀποτρέχομεν ἔξω, σὺ δέ, βασιλεῦ, παράθες τὰ βρώματα καὶ τὸν οἶνον κεράσας θὲς καὶ ἀπόκλεισον τὴν θύραν καὶ σφράγισον τῷ δακτυλίῳ σου• καὶ ἐλθὼν πρωΐ, ἐὰν μὴ εὕρῃς πάντα βεβρωμένα ὑπὸ τοῦ Βήλ, ἀποθανούμεθα ἢ Δανιὴλ ὁ ψευδόμενος καθ' ἡμῶν.
King James Version (KJV)

So Bel's priests said, Lo, we go out: but thou, O king, set on the meat, and make ready the wine, and shut the door fast, and seal it with thine own signet;

Modern English

Bel's priests said, "Look, we will leave now — but you, O king, set out the food, mix the wine, shut the door tight, and seal it with your own signet ring."
