Daniel 3:13-27

13ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 in 1rageH7266 and angerH2528 gaveH560 ordersH560 to bringH858 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665; thenH116 theseH479 menH1400 were broughtH858 beforeH6925 the kingH4430. 14NebuchadnezzarH5020 respondedH6032 and saidH560 to them, “Is it trueH6656, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665, that you doH383 not serveH6399 2my godsH426 or worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 that I have setH6966 up? 15NowH3705 ifH2006 you are readyH6263, 3at the momentH5732 you hearH8086 the soundH7032 of the hornH7162, fluteH4953, 4lyreH7030, trigonH5443, psalteryH6460 and bagpipeH5481 and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musicH2170, to fallH5308 downH5308 and worshipH5457 the imageH6755 that I have madeH5648, very well. But ifH2006 you do not worshipH5457, you will 5immediatelyH8160 be 6castH7412 into the midstH1459 of a furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135; and 7whatH4479 godH426 is there whoH1768 can deliverH7804 you out of my handsH3028?”

168ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665 repliedH6032 to the kingH4430, “O NebuchadnezzarH5020, we do not needH2818 to giveH8421 you an answerH6600 concerningH5922 thisH1836 matterH6600. 179IfH2006 it be so, our 10GodH426 whomH1768 we serveH6399 is ableH3202 to deliverH7804 us from the furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135; 11and 12He will deliverH7804 us out of your handH3028, O kingH4430. 1813But even ifH2006 He does not, 14let it be knownH3046 to you, O kingH4430, that we are not going to serveH6399 your godsH426 or worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 that you have setH6966 up.”

19ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 was filledH4391 with 15wrathH2528, and his facialH600 expressionH6755 was alteredH8133 towardH5922 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665. He answeredH6032 16by givingH560 ordersH560 to heatH228 the furnaceH861 sevenH7655 timesH2298 moreH5922 thanH5922H1768 it was usuallyH2370 heatedH228. 20He commandedH560 certainH1400 valiantH2429 warriorsH1401 whoH1768 were in his armyH2429 to tieH3729 up ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665 in order to castH7412 them into the furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135. 21ThenH116 theseH479 menH1400 were tiedH3729 up in their 1718trousersH5622, their 19coatsH6361, their capsH3737 and their other clothesH3831, and were castH7412 into the midstH1459 of the furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135. 22For thisH1836 reasonH3606H6903, becauseH4481H1768 the king’sH4430 20commandH4406 was 2122urgentH2685 and the furnaceH861 had been madeH228 extremelyH3493 hotH228, the flameH7631 of the fireH5135 slewH6992 thoseH479 menH1400 whoH1768 carriedH5559 up ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665. 23But theseH479 threeH8532 menH1400, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665, 23fellH5308 into the midstH1459 of the furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135 still tiedH3729 up.

24ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 was astoundedH8429 and stoodH6966 up in hasteH927; he saidH560 to his highH1907 officialsH1907, “Was it not threeH8532 menH1400 we castH7412 boundH3729 into the midstH1459 of the fireH5135?” They repliedH6032 to the kingH4430, “CertainlyH3330, O kingH4430.” 25He saidH560, “LookH1888! I seeH2370 fourH703 menH1400 loosedH8271 and 24walkingH1981 about in the midstH1459 of the fireH5135 25withoutH3809 harmH2257, and the appearanceH7299 of the fourthH7244 is likeH1821 a sonH1247 of the 26godsH426!” 26ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 cameH7127 nearH7127 to the doorH8651 of the furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135; he respondedH6032 and saidH560, “ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665, comeH5312 out, you servantsH5649 of the 27MostH5943 HighH5943 GodH426, and comeH858 hereH5312!” ThenH116 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665 28cameH5312 out of the midstH1459 of the fireH5135. 27The 29satrapsH324, the prefectsH5460, the governorsH6347 and the king’sH4430 highH1907 officialsH1907 gatheredH3673 aroundH3673 and sawH2370 in regard to theseH479 menH1400 that the 30fireH5135 hadH7981 noH3809 31effectH7981 on 32the bodiesH1655 of these men norH3809 was the hairH8177 of their headH7217 singedH2761, norH3809 were their 3334trousersH5622 35damagedH8133, norH3809 had the smellH7382 of fireH5135 even comeH5907 upon them.
