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 1walkingH1981 aboutH1981 in the middleH1459 of the fireH5135 2unharmedH3809H2257, and the appearanceH7299 of the fourthH7244 is likeH1821 a sonH1247 of the 3godsH426!” 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 4MostH5943 HighH5943 GodH426, and comeH858 hereH5312!” ThenH116 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665 5cameH5312 outH5312 of the middleH1459 of the fireH5135. 27The 6satrapsH324, the prefectsH5460, the governorsH6347, and the king’sH4430 counselorsH1907 gatheredH3673 togetherH3673 and sawH2370 that the 7fireH5135 hadH7981 noH3809 8effectH7981 on 9the bodiesH1655 of theseH479 menH1400, norH3809 was the hairH8177 of their headsH7217 singedH2761, norH3809 were their 1011trousersH5622 12damagedH8133, norH3809 had even the smellH7382 of fireH5135 touchedH5709 them.

28NebuchadnezzarH5020 respondedH6032 and saidH560, “BlessedH1289 be the 13GodH426 of ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665, whoH1768 has 14sentH7972 His angelH4398 and rescuedH7804 His servantsH5649 whoH1768 putH7365 their 15trustH7365 in Him, 16violatingH8133 the king’sH4430 commandH4406, and surrenderedH3052 their bodiesH1655 17ratherH1768H3809 thanH3809 serveH6399 or worshipH5457 anyH3606 godH426 exceptH3861 their own GodH426.
