Daniel 3:21-27

21ThenH116 theseH479 menH1400 were tiedH3729 upH3729 in their 1trousersH5622, their 2coatsH6361, 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 3commandH4406 was 4harshH2685 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, 5fellH5308 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 6walkingH1981 aboutH1981 in the middleH1459 of the fireH5135 7unharmedH3809H2257, and the appearanceH7299 of the fourthH7244 is likeH1821 a sonH1247 of the 8godsH426!” 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 9MostH5943 HighH5943 GodH426, and comeH858 hereH5312!” ThenH116 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665 10cameH5312 outH5312 of the middleH1459 of the fireH5135. 27The 11satrapsH324, the prefectsH5460, the governorsH6347, and the king’sH4430 counselorsH1907 gatheredH3673 togetherH3673 and sawH2370 that the 12fireH5135 hadH7981 noH3809 13effectH7981 on 14the bodiesH1655 of theseH479 menH1400, norH3809 was the hairH8177 of their headsH7217 singedH2761, norH3809 were their 1516trousersH5622 17damagedH8133, norH3809 had even the smellH7382 of fireH5135 touchedH5709 them.
