Daniel 3:19-30

19ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 was filledH4391 with 1wrathH2528, and his facialH600 expressionH6755 was changedH8133 towardH5922 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665. He answeredH6032 2by givingH560 ordersH560 to heatH228 the furnaceH861 sevenH7655 timesH2298 moreH5922 thanH5922H1768 it was usuallyH2370 heatedH228. 20And he orderedH560 certainH1400 valiantH2429 warriorsH1401 whoH1768 were in his armyH2429 to tieH3729 upH3729 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665 in order to throwH7412 them into the furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135. 21ThenH116 theseH479 menH1400 were tiedH3729 upH3729 in their 3trousersH5622, their 4coatsH6361, their capsH3737, and their other clothesH3831, and were thrownH7412 into the middleH1459 of the furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135. 22For thisH1836 reasonH6903, becauseH4481H1768 the king’sH4430 5commandH4406 was 6harshH2685 and the furnaceH861 had been madeH228 extremelyH3493 hotH228, the flameH7631 of the fireH5135 killedH6992 thoseH479 menH1400 whoH1768 tookH5559 upH5559 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665. 23But theseH479 threeH8532 menH1400, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665, 7fellH5308 into the middleH1459 of the furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135 still tiedH3729 upH3729.

24ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 was astoundedH8429 and stoodH6966 upH6966 quicklyH927; he saidH560 to his counselorsH1907, “Was it not threeH8532 menH1400 that we threwH7412 boundH3729 into the middleH1459 of the fireH5135?” They repliedH6032 to the kingH4430, “AbsolutelyH3330, O kingH4430.” 25He respondedH6032H560, “LookH1888! I seeH2370 fourH703 menH1400 untiedH8271 and 8walkingH1981 aboutH1981 in the middleH1459 of the fireH5135 9unharmedH3809H2257, and the appearanceH7299 of the fourthH7244 is likeH1821 a sonH1247 of the 10godsH426!” 26ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 cameH7127 nearH7127 to the doorH8651 of the furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135; he saidH560, “ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665, comeH5312 outH5312, you servantsH5649 of the 11MostH5943 HighH5943 GodH426, and comeH858 hereH5312!” ThenH116 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665 12cameH5312 outH5312 of the middleH1459 of the fireH5135. 27The 13satrapsH324, the prefectsH5460, the governorsH6347, and the king’sH4430 counselorsH1907 gatheredH3673 togetherH3673 and sawH2370 that the 14fireH5135 hadH7981 noH3809 15effectH7981 on 16the bodiesH1655 of theseH479 menH1400, norH3809 was the hairH8177 of their headsH7217 singedH2761, norH3809 were their 1718trousersH5622 19damagedH8133, norH3809 had even the smellH7382 of fireH5135 touchedH5709 them.

28NebuchadnezzarH5020 respondedH6032 and saidH560, “BlessedH1289 be the 20GodH426 of ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665, whoH1768 has 21sentH7972 His angelH4398 and rescuedH7804 His servantsH5649 whoH1768 putH7365 their 22trustH7365 in Him, 23violatingH8133 the king’sH4430 commandH4406, and surrenderedH3052 their bodiesH1655 24ratherH1768H3809 thanH3809 serveH6399 or worshipH5457 anyH3606 godH426 exceptH3861 their own GodH426. 29Therefore I 25makeH7761 a decreeH2942 that anyH3606 peopleH5972, nationH524, or population of any languageH3961 that speaksH560 anything offensiveH7960 againstH5922 the GodH426 of 26ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665 shall be tornH5648 limbH1917 from limbH1917 and their 27housesH1005 madeH7739 a rubbishH5122 heapH5122, becauseH6903H1768 thereH383 isH383 28noH3809 otherH321 godH426 whoH1768 is ableH3202 to saveH5338 in thisH1836 way.” 30ThenH116 the kingH4430 29made ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665 prosperousH6744 in the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895.
