Commentators unanimously see the plot against Daniel as the highest possible compliment to his character. His enemies, after intense scrutiny, concluded they could find no fault in his professional or personal life. Their only recourse was to weaponize his unwavering, predictable devotion to God. Scholars note this is a powerful model for believers: to live with such integrity that our faithfulness to God is the only "accusation" that can be brought against us.
