Daniel 3:23-30
23And theseH479 threeH8532 menH1400, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, firmly boundH3729, fellH5308 intoH1459 the blazingH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861.
24SuddenlyH116 KingH4430H8429 NebuchadnezzarH5020 jumped upH6966 in amazementH927 and askedH6032H560 his advisersH1907, “Did we notH3809 throwH7412 threeH8532 menH1400, firmly boundH3729, intoH1459 the fireH5135?”
“CertainlyH3330, O kingH4430,” they repliedH6032H560.
25“LookH1888H6032!” he exclaimedH560. “IH576 seeH2370 fourH703 menH1400, unboundH8271 and unharmedH2257H3809H383, walking aroundH1981 inH1459 the fireH5135—and the fourthH7244 looksH7299H1768 likeH1821 a sonH1247 of the godsH426!1”
26ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 approachedH7127 the doorH8651 of the blazingH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861H6032 and called outH560, “ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, servantsH5649H1768 of the Most HighH5943 GodH426, come outH5312H858!”
SoH116 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665 came outH5312 ofH4481H1459 the fireH5135, 27and when the satrapsH324, prefectsH5460, governorsH6347, and royalH4430 advisersH1907 had gathered aroundH3673, they sawH2370 that the fireH5135 had noH3809 effectH7981 on the bodiesH1655 of theseH479H1768 menH1400. NotH3809 a hairH8177 of their headsH7217 was singedH2761, their robesH5622 were unaffectedH3809H8133, and there was noH3809H5709 smellH7382 of fireH5135 on them.
28NebuchadnezzarH5020H560 declaredH6032, “BlessedH1289 be the GodH426 ofH1768 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, who has sentH7972 His angelH43982 and deliveredH7804 His servantsH5649H1768 whoH1768 trustedH7365 in HimH5922. They violatedH8133H3052 the king’sH4430 commandH4406 and risked their livesH1655H1768H3809 rather than serveH6399H3809 or worshipH5457 anyH3606 godH426 exceptH3861 their own GodH426. 29Therefore I decreeH7761H2942 thatH1768 the peopleH5972 of anyH3606 nationH524 or languageH3961 whoH1768 sayH560 anything offensiveH7955 againstH5922 the GodH426 ofH1768 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665 will be cutH5648 into piecesH1917 and their housesH1005 reducedH7739H3606 to rubbleH5122. ForH6903H1768 there isH383 noH3809 otherH321 godH426 whoH1768 canH3202 deliverH5338 in this wayH1836.”
30ThenH116 the kingH4430 promotedH6744 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665 in the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895.
