Daniel 3:22-30

22For thisH1836 reasonH3606H6903, becauseH4481H1768 the king’sH4430 1commandH4406 was 23urgentH2685 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, 4fellH5308 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 5walkingH1981 about in the midstH1459 of the fireH5135 6withoutH3809 harmH2257, and the appearanceH7299 of the fourthH7244 is likeH1821 a sonH1247 of the 7godsH426!” 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 8MostH5943 HighH5943 GodH426, and comeH858 hereH5312!” ThenH116 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665 9cameH5312 out of the midstH1459 of the fireH5135. 27The 10satrapsH324, the prefectsH5460, the governorsH6347 and the king’sH4430 highH1907 officialsH1907 gatheredH3673 aroundH3673 and sawH2370 in regard to theseH479 menH1400 that the 11fireH5135 hadH7981 noH3809 12effectH7981 on 13the bodiesH1655 of these men norH3809 was the hairH8177 of their headH7217 singedH2761, norH3809 were their 1415trousersH5622 16damagedH8133, norH3809 had the smellH7382 of fireH5135 even comeH5907 upon them.

28NebuchadnezzarH5020 respondedH6032 and saidH560, “BlessedH1289 be the 17GodH426 of ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665, whoH1768 has 18sentH7972 His angelH4398 and deliveredH7804 His servantsH5649 whoH1768 putH7365 their 19trustH7365 in Him, 20violatingH8133 the king’sH4430 commandH4406, and yieldedH3052 up their bodiesH1655 soH1768 as 21not to serveH6399 or worshipH5457 anyH3606 godH426 exceptH3861 their own GodH426. 29Therefore I 22makeH7761 a decreeH2942 that anyH3606 peopleH5972, nationH524 or tongueH3961 that speaksH560 anything offensiveH7960 againstH5922 the GodH426 of 23ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665 shall be tornH5648 limbH1917 from limb and their 24housesH1005 reducedH7739 to a rubbishH5122 heapH5122, inasmuchH3606H6903H1768 as thereH383 is 25noH3809 otherH321 godH426 whoH1768 is ableH3202 to deliverH5338 in thisH1836 way.” 30ThenH116 the kingH4430 26caused ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665 to prosperH6744 in the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895.
