In Daniel 2:13, a royal decree sought to kill wise men including Daniel; similarly here, the decree endangers Daniel.

In Proverbs 6:2, being snared by one's own words parallels the king's decree that later traps him, unable to revoke it.

In Isaiah 10:1, woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees; this decree forbids prayer to God, fitting that condemnation.

In Proverbs 18:13, answering before hearing is folly; the king signed the decree without hearing Daniel's side.
