Corrections
I accidentally said "companions" instead of "house" in Daniel 2:17. Here is Daniel 2:17-18: "Then Daniel went to his house and made the matter known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, and told them to seek mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his companions might not be destroyed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon."
