Daniel 3:23-30
23And these threeH8532 menH1400, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665, fellH5308 downH5308 bound into the midstH1459 of the burning fiery furnaceH861.
24ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 was astonished, and rose up in hasteH927: he spake and saidH560 unto his counsellors, Did not we cast threeH8532 menH1400 bound into the midstH1459 of the fireH5135? They answered and saidH560 unto the kingH4430, True, O kingH4430. 25He answered and saidH560, Lo, I seeH2370 fourH703 menH1400 loose, walkingH1981 in the midstH1459 of the fireH5135, and they have no hurt; and the aspect of the fourthH7244 is like a sonH1247 of the godsH426. 26ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 cameH858 near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnaceH861: he spake and saidH560, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665, ye servantsH5649 of the MostH5943 HighH5943 GodH426, comeH858 forth, and comeH858 hither. ThenH116 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665 cameH858 forth out of the midstH1459 of the fireH5135. 27And the satrapsH324, the deputies, and the governorsH6347, and the king’sH4430 counsellors, being gatheredH3673 together, sawH2370 these menH1400, that the fireH5135 had no power upon their bodiesH1655, nor was the hairH8177 of their headH7217 singed, neither were their hosen changedH8133, nor had the smell of fireH5135 passed on them.
28NebuchadnezzarH5020 spake and saidH560, Blessed be the GodH426 of ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665, who hath sent his angelH4398, and deliveredH7804 his servantsH5649 that trusted in him, and have changedH8133 the king’sH4430 wordH4406, and have yielded their bodiesH1655, that they might not serve nor worship any godH426, except their own GodH426. 29Therefore I make a decreeH2942, that every peopleH5972, nationH524, and language, which speak anything amiss against the GodH426 of ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665, shall be cut in pieces, and their housesH1005 shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other godH426 that is ableH3202 to deliver after this sort. 30ThenH116 the kingH4430 promoted ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665 in the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895.
