Daniel 3:8-23

8Whereupon at that timeH2166 certain ChaldeansH3779 came near, and accused the JewsH3062.

9They spoke and saidH560 to the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020, O kingH4430, liveH2418 for everH5957!

10Thou, O kingH4430, hast madeH7761 a decreeH2942, that every manH606 that shall hearH8086 the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kindsH2178 of music, shall fallH5308 downH5308 and worship the golden imageH6755;

11and [that] whosoever doth not fallH5308 downH5308 and worship, shall be cast into the midstH1459 of a burning fiery furnaceH861.

12There are certain JewsH3062 whom thou hast appointedH4483 over the administrationH5673 of the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895: ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665: these menH1400, O kingH4430, regard thee not; they serve not thy 1godsH426, nor worship the golden imageH6755 that thou hast setH6966 up.

13ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 in rage and fury commanded to bringH858 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665. ThenH116 were these menH1400 broughtH858 before the kingH4430.

14NebuchadnezzarH5020 spoke and saidH560 unto them, Is it of purpose, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665, that ye serve not my 2godH426, nor worship the golden imageH6755 that I have setH6966 up?

15NowH3705 if ye be ready at the timeH5732 that ye hearH8086 the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kindsH2178 of music, to fallH5308 downH5308 and worship the imageH6755 that I have made, [well]: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast that same hour into the midstH1459 of a burning fiery furnaceH861: and who is the 3GodH426 that shall deliverH7804 you out of my handsH3028?

16ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665 answered and saidH560 to the kingH4430, O NebuchadnezzarH5020, we have no need to answer thee in this matter.

17If it be [so], our 4GodH426 whom we serve is ableH3202 to deliverH7804 us from the burning fiery furnaceH861, and he will deliverH7804 [us] out of thy handH3028, O kingH4430.

18But if not, be it knownH3046 unto thee, O kingH4430, that we will not serve thy 5godsH426, nor worship the golden imageH6755 that thou hast setH6966 up.

19ThenH116 was NebuchadnezzarH5020 full of fury, and the form of his visage was changedH8133 against ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665. He spoke, and commanded that they should heatH228 the furnaceH861 sevenH7655 times more than it was wont to be heatedH228.

20And he commanded the most mighty menH1400 that were in his armyH2429 to bind ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665, and cast them into the burning fiery furnaceH861.

21ThenH116 these menH1400 were bound in their hosen, their tunics, and their cloaks, and their garments, and were cast into the midstH1459 of the burning fiery furnaceH861.

22Forasmuch as the king's commandment was rigorous, and the furnaceH861 exceeding hot, the flame of the fireH5135 slew those menH1400 that had taken up ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665.

23And these threeH8532 menH1400, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665, fellH5308 downH5308 bound into the midstH1459 of the burning fiery furnaceH861.
