Chapter 3

1 Nebuchadnezzar5020 the king4430 made5648 an image6755 of1768 gold,1722 whose height7314 was threescore8361 cubits,521 and the breadth6613 thereof six8353 cubits:521 he set it up6966 in the plain1236 of Dura,1757 in the province4083 of Babylon.895

2 Then Nebuchadnezzar5020 the king4430 sent7972 to gather together3673 the princes,324 the governors,5460 and the captains,6347 the judges,148 the treasurers,1411 the counselors,1884 the sheriffs,8614 and all3606 the rulers7984 of the provinces,4083 to come858 to the dedication2597 of the image6755 which1768 Nebuchadnezzar5020 the king4430 had set up.6966

3 Then116 the princes,324 the governors,5460 and captains,6347 the judges,148 the treasurers,1411 the counselors,1884 the sheriffs,8614 and all3606 the rulers7984 of the provinces,4083 were gathered together3673 unto the dedication2597 of the image6755 that1768 Nebuchadnezzar5020 the king4430 had set up;6966 and they stood6966 before6903 the image6755 that1768 Nebuchadnezzar5020 had set up.6966

4 Then a herald3744 cried7123 aloud,2429 To you it is commanded,560 O people,5972 nations,524 and languages,3961

5 That at what1768 time5732 ye hear8086 the sound7032 of the cornet,7162 flute,4953 harp,7030 sackbut,5443 psaltery,6460 dulcimer,5481 and all3606 kinds2178 of music,2170 ye fall down5308 and worship5457 the golden1722 image6755 that1768 Nebuchadnezzar5020 the king4430 hath set up: 6966

6 And whoso4479 1768 falleth not down5308 3809 and worshipeth5457 shall the same hour8160 be cast7412 into the midst1459 of a burning3345 fiery5135 furnace.861

7 Therefore3606 6903 1836 at that time,2166 when1768 all3606 the people5972 heard8086 the sound7032 of the cornet,7162 flute,4953 harp,7030 sackbut,5443 psaltery,6460 and all3606 kinds2178 of music,2170 all3606 the people,5972 the nations,524 and the languages,3961 fell down5308 and worshiped5457 the golden1722 image6755 that1768 Nebuchadnezzar5020 the king4430 had set up.6966

8 Wherefore3606 6903 1836 at that time2166 certain1400 Chaldeans3779 came near,7127 and accused399 7170 the Jews.1768 3062

9 They spoke6032 and said560 to the king4430 Nebuchadnezzar,5020 O king,4430 live2418 forever.5957

10 Thou,607 O king,4430 hast made7761 a decree,2942 that1768 every3606 man606 that1768 shall hear8086 the sound7032 of the cornet,7162 flute,4953 harp,7030 sackbut,5443 psaltery,6460 and dulcimer,5481 and all3606 kinds2178 of music,2170 shall fall down5308 and worship5457 the golden1722 image: 6755

11 And whoso4479 1768 falleth not down5308 3809 and worshipeth,5457 that he should be cast7412 into the midst1459 of a burning3345 fiery5135 furnace.861

12 There are383 certain1400 Jews3062 whom1768 thou hast set4483 over5922 the affairs5673 of the province4083 of Babylon,895 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego;5665 these479 men,1400 O king,4430 have not3809 regarded7761 2942 5922 thee: they serve6399 not3809 thy gods,426 nor3809 worship5457 the golden1722 image6755 which1768 thou hast set up.6966

13 Then116 Nebuchadnezzar5020 in his rage7266 and fury2528 commanded560 to bring858 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego.5665 Then116 they brought858 these479 men1400 before6925 the king.4430

14 Nebuchadnezzar5020 spoke6032 and said560 unto them, Is it true,6656 O Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 do383 not3809 ye serve6399 my gods,426 nor3809 worship5457 the golden1722 image6755 which1768 I have set up?6966

15 Now3705 if2006 ye be383 ready6263 that1768 at what1768 time5732 ye hear8086 the sound7032 of the cornet,7162 flute,4953 harp,7030 sackbut,5443 psaltery,6460 and dulcimer,5481 and all3606 kinds2178 of music,2170 ye fall down5308 and worship5457 the image6755 which1768 I have made;5648 well: but if2006 ye worship5457 not,3809 ye shall be cast7412 the same hour8160 into the midst1459 of a burning3345 fiery5135 furnace;861 and who4479 is that1932 God426 that1768 shall deliver7804 you out of4481 my hands?3028

16 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 answered6032 and said560 to the king,4430 O Nebuchadnezzar,5020 we586 are not3809 careful2818 to answer8421 thee in5922 this1836 matter.6600

17 If2006 it be383 so, our God426 whom1768 we586 serve6399 is able3202 to deliver7804 us from4481 the burning3345 fiery5135 furnace,861 and he will deliver7804 us out of4481 thine hand,3028 O king.4430

18 But if2006 not,3809 be1934 it known3046 unto thee, O king,4430 that1768 we will383 not3809 serve6399 thy gods,426 nor3809 worship5457 the golden1722 image6755 which1768 thou hast set up.6966

19 Then116 was Nebuchadnezzar5020 full4391 of fury,2528 and the form6755 of his visage600 was changed8133 against5922 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego:5665 therefore he spoke,6032 and commanded560 that they should heat228 the furnace861 one2298 seven times7655 more5922 than1768 it was wont2370 to be heated.228

20 And he commanded560 the most mighty1401 2429 men1400 that1768 were in his army2429 to bind3729 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 and to cast7412 them into the burning3345 fiery5135 furnace.861

21 Then116 these479 men1400 were bound3729 in their coats,5622 their hosen,6361 and their hats,3737 and their other garments,3831 and were cast7412 into the midst1459 of the burning3345 fiery5135 furnace.861

22 Therefore3606 6903 1836 because4481 1768 the king's4430 commandment4406 was urgent,2685 and the furnace861 exceeding3493 hot,228 the flame7631 of1768 the fire5135 slew6992 those479 men1400 that1768 took up5267 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego.5665

23 And these479 three8532 men,1400 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 fell down5308 bound3729 into the midst1459 of the burning3345 fiery5135 furnace.861

24 Then116 Nebuchadnezzar5020 the king4430 was astonished,8429 and rose up6966 in haste,927 and spoke,6032 and said560 unto his counselors,1907 Did not3809 we cast7412 three8532 men1400 bound3729 into the midst1459 of the fire?5135 They answered6032 and said560 unto the king,4430 True,3330 O king.4430

25 He answered6032 and said,560 Lo,1888 I576 see2370 four703 men1400 loose,8271 walking1981 in the midst1459 of the fire,5135 and they have383 no3809 hurt;2257 and the form7299 of1768 the fourth7244 is like1821 the Son1247 of God.426

26 Then116 Nebuchadnezzar5020 came near7127 to the mouth8651 of the burning3345 fiery5135 furnace,861 and spoke,6032 and said,560 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 ye servants5649 of1768 the most high5943 God,426 come forth,5312 and come858 hither. Then116 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 came forth5312 of4481 the midst1459 of the fire.5135

27 And the princes,324 governors,5460 and captains,6347 and the king's4430 counselors,1907 being gathered together,3673 saw2370 these479 men,1400 upon whose1768 bodies1655 the fire5135 had no power,7981 3809 nor3809 was a hair8177 of their head7217 singed,2761 neither3809 were their coats5622 changed,8133 nor3809 the smell7382 of fire5135 had passed5709 on them.

28 Then Nebuchadnezzar5020 spoke,6032 and said,560 Blessed1289 be the God426 of1768 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 who1768 hath sent7972 his angel,4398 and delivered7804 his servants5649 that1768 trusted7365 in5922 him, and have changed8133 the king's4430 word,4406 and yielded3052 their bodies,1655 that1768 they might not3809 serve6399 nor3809 worship5457 any3606 god,426 except3861 their own God.426

29 Therefore I make4481 7761 a decree,2942 That1768 every3606 people,5972 nation,524 and language,3961 which1768 speak560 any thing amiss7955 against5922 the God426 of1768 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 shall be cut5648 in pieces,1917 and their houses1005 shall be made7739 a dunghill:5122 because3606 6903 1768 there is383 no3809 other321 God426 that1768 can3202 deliver5338 after this sort.1836

30 Then116 the king4430 promoted6744 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 in the province4083 of Babylon.895

Chapter 3

1 NEBUCHADNEZZAR the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its breadth six cubits; and he set it up in the plain of Dora, in the province of Babylon.

2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the generals of the armies, the lords, the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

3 Then all the generals of the armies, the lords, the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces were gathered together to the dedication of the new image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood up before the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

4 Then a herald cried aloud, and said, To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,

5 That at the hour when you hear the sound of the trumpet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the golden image which Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up;

6 And whosoever does not fall down and worship shall at the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

7 Therefore at the hour when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages fell down and worshipped the golden image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

8 And at that very time certain Chaldeans came near and accused the Jews.

9 They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever!

10 You, O king, have made a decree, that every man who shall hear the sound of the trumpet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image which you have set up;

11 And whosoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

12 There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded you; they do not serve your god, nor do they worship the golden image which you have set up.

13 Then King Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. And they brought them before the king.

14 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king spoke and said to them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you do not serve my god nor worship the golden image which I have set up?

15 Now if you are ready, at the time you hear the sound of the trumpet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image which I have made, good; but if you do not worship, you shall at once be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is your god that shall deliver you out of my hands?

16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to King Nebuchadnezzar, There is no use to answer you concerning this matter;

17 For there is our God whom we serve, he is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.

18 Then the king shall know that we will not serve your god nor worship the golden image which you have set up.

19 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was filled with fury, and the countenance of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; and he commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times more than it was customarily heated.

20 And he commanded some of the mighty men in the army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

21 Then the mighty men bound them in their trousers, their undergarments, their robes, and their hats, and cast them into the fiery furnace.

22 Because the king's command was hasty and the furnace was exceedingly hot, the flames of the fire killed those who had accused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

23 But the three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. (And they rose up and walked bound in the midst of the flame, praising God and blessing the LORD.)

24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was alarmed and rose up in a great fear, and spoke and said to his princes, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, O king.

25 The king answered and said, Behold I see men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like that of the Son of God.

26 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king drew near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spoke and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the most High God, come forth and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came out of the midst of the fiery furnace.

27 And all the people, generals of the armies, governors, lords, and the great men of the king, being gathered together, saw these men upon whose bodies the fire had no power nor was the hair of their head singed neither were their trousers burned nor had the smell of fire passed on them.

28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have rejected the king's word and offered their bodies that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

29 Therefore I make this decree: Every people, nation, and language which speaks blasphemy against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be plundered, because there is no other God that can deliver in this manner.

30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.

Chapter 3

1 Nebuchadnezzar5020 the king4430 made5648 an image6755 of1768 gold,1722 whose height7314 was threescore8361 cubits,521 and the breadth6613 thereof six8353 cubits:521 he set it up6966 in the plain1236 of Dura,1757 in the province4083 of Babylon.895

1 NEBUCHADNEZZAR the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its breadth six cubits; and he set it up in the plain of Dora, in the province of Babylon.

2 Then Nebuchadnezzar5020 the king4430 sent7972 to gather together3673 the princes,324 the governors,5460 and the captains,6347 the judges,148 the treasurers,1411 the counselors,1884 the sheriffs,8614 and all3606 the rulers7984 of the provinces,4083 to come858 to the dedication2597 of the image6755 which1768 Nebuchadnezzar5020 the king4430 had set up.6966

2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the generals of the armies, the lords, the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

3 Then116 the princes,324 the governors,5460 and captains,6347 the judges,148 the treasurers,1411 the counselors,1884 the sheriffs,8614 and all3606 the rulers7984 of the provinces,4083 were gathered together3673 unto the dedication2597 of the image6755 that1768 Nebuchadnezzar5020 the king4430 had set up;6966 and they stood6966 before6903 the image6755 that1768 Nebuchadnezzar5020 had set up.6966

3 Then all the generals of the armies, the lords, the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces were gathered together to the dedication of the new image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood up before the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

4 Then a herald3744 cried7123 aloud,2429 To you it is commanded,560 O people,5972 nations,524 and languages,3961

4 Then a herald cried aloud, and said, To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,

5 That at what1768 time5732 ye hear8086 the sound7032 of the cornet,7162 flute,4953 harp,7030 sackbut,5443 psaltery,6460 dulcimer,5481 and all3606 kinds2178 of music,2170 ye fall down5308 and worship5457 the golden1722 image6755 that1768 Nebuchadnezzar5020 the king4430 hath set up: 6966

5 That at the hour when you hear the sound of the trumpet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the golden image which Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up;

6 And whoso4479 1768 falleth not down5308 3809 and worshipeth5457 shall the same hour8160 be cast7412 into the midst1459 of a burning3345 fiery5135 furnace.861

6 And whosoever does not fall down and worship shall at the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

7 Therefore3606 6903 1836 at that time,2166 when1768 all3606 the people5972 heard8086 the sound7032 of the cornet,7162 flute,4953 harp,7030 sackbut,5443 psaltery,6460 and all3606 kinds2178 of music,2170 all3606 the people,5972 the nations,524 and the languages,3961 fell down5308 and worshiped5457 the golden1722 image6755 that1768 Nebuchadnezzar5020 the king4430 had set up.6966

7 Therefore at the hour when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages fell down and worshipped the golden image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

8 Wherefore3606 6903 1836 at that time2166 certain1400 Chaldeans3779 came near,7127 and accused399 7170 the Jews.1768 3062

8 And at that very time certain Chaldeans came near and accused the Jews.

9 They spoke6032 and said560 to the king4430 Nebuchadnezzar,5020 O king,4430 live2418 forever.5957

9 They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever!

10 Thou,607 O king,4430 hast made7761 a decree,2942 that1768 every3606 man606 that1768 shall hear8086 the sound7032 of the cornet,7162 flute,4953 harp,7030 sackbut,5443 psaltery,6460 and dulcimer,5481 and all3606 kinds2178 of music,2170 shall fall down5308 and worship5457 the golden1722 image: 6755

10 You, O king, have made a decree, that every man who shall hear the sound of the trumpet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image which you have set up;

11 And whoso4479 1768 falleth not down5308 3809 and worshipeth,5457 that he should be cast7412 into the midst1459 of a burning3345 fiery5135 furnace.861

11 And whosoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

12 There are383 certain1400 Jews3062 whom1768 thou hast set4483 over5922 the affairs5673 of the province4083 of Babylon,895 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego;5665 these479 men,1400 O king,4430 have not3809 regarded7761 2942 5922 thee: they serve6399 not3809 thy gods,426 nor3809 worship5457 the golden1722 image6755 which1768 thou hast set up.6966

12 There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded you; they do not serve your god, nor do they worship the golden image which you have set up.

13 Then116 Nebuchadnezzar5020 in his rage7266 and fury2528 commanded560 to bring858 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego.5665 Then116 they brought858 these479 men1400 before6925 the king.4430

13 Then King Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. And they brought them before the king.

14 Nebuchadnezzar5020 spoke6032 and said560 unto them, Is it true,6656 O Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 do383 not3809 ye serve6399 my gods,426 nor3809 worship5457 the golden1722 image6755 which1768 I have set up?6966

14 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king spoke and said to them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you do not serve my god nor worship the golden image which I have set up?

15 Now3705 if2006 ye be383 ready6263 that1768 at what1768 time5732 ye hear8086 the sound7032 of the cornet,7162 flute,4953 harp,7030 sackbut,5443 psaltery,6460 and dulcimer,5481 and all3606 kinds2178 of music,2170 ye fall down5308 and worship5457 the image6755 which1768 I have made;5648 well: but if2006 ye worship5457 not,3809 ye shall be cast7412 the same hour8160 into the midst1459 of a burning3345 fiery5135 furnace;861 and who4479 is that1932 God426 that1768 shall deliver7804 you out of4481 my hands?3028

15 Now if you are ready, at the time you hear the sound of the trumpet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image which I have made, good; but if you do not worship, you shall at once be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is your god that shall deliver you out of my hands?

16 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 answered6032 and said560 to the king,4430 O Nebuchadnezzar,5020 we586 are not3809 careful2818 to answer8421 thee in5922 this1836 matter.6600

16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to King Nebuchadnezzar, There is no use to answer you concerning this matter;

17 If2006 it be383 so, our God426 whom1768 we586 serve6399 is able3202 to deliver7804 us from4481 the burning3345 fiery5135 furnace,861 and he will deliver7804 us out of4481 thine hand,3028 O king.4430

17 For there is our God whom we serve, he is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.

18 But if2006 not,3809 be1934 it known3046 unto thee, O king,4430 that1768 we will383 not3809 serve6399 thy gods,426 nor3809 worship5457 the golden1722 image6755 which1768 thou hast set up.6966

18 Then the king shall know that we will not serve your god nor worship the golden image which you have set up.

19 Then116 was Nebuchadnezzar5020 full4391 of fury,2528 and the form6755 of his visage600 was changed8133 against5922 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego:5665 therefore he spoke,6032 and commanded560 that they should heat228 the furnace861 one2298 seven times7655 more5922 than1768 it was wont2370 to be heated.228

19 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was filled with fury, and the countenance of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; and he commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times more than it was customarily heated.

20 And he commanded560 the most mighty1401 2429 men1400 that1768 were in his army2429 to bind3729 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 and to cast7412 them into the burning3345 fiery5135 furnace.861

20 And he commanded some of the mighty men in the army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

21 Then116 these479 men1400 were bound3729 in their coats,5622 their hosen,6361 and their hats,3737 and their other garments,3831 and were cast7412 into the midst1459 of the burning3345 fiery5135 furnace.861

21 Then the mighty men bound them in their trousers, their undergarments, their robes, and their hats, and cast them into the fiery furnace.

22 Therefore3606 6903 1836 because4481 1768 the king's4430 commandment4406 was urgent,2685 and the furnace861 exceeding3493 hot,228 the flame7631 of1768 the fire5135 slew6992 those479 men1400 that1768 took up5267 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego.5665

22 Because the king's command was hasty and the furnace was exceedingly hot, the flames of the fire killed those who had accused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

23 And these479 three8532 men,1400 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 fell down5308 bound3729 into the midst1459 of the burning3345 fiery5135 furnace.861

23 But the three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. (And they rose up and walked bound in the midst of the flame, praising God and blessing the LORD.)

24 Then116 Nebuchadnezzar5020 the king4430 was astonished,8429 and rose up6966 in haste,927 and spoke,6032 and said560 unto his counselors,1907 Did not3809 we cast7412 three8532 men1400 bound3729 into the midst1459 of the fire?5135 They answered6032 and said560 unto the king,4430 True,3330 O king.4430

24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was alarmed and rose up in a great fear, and spoke and said to his princes, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, O king.

25 He answered6032 and said,560 Lo,1888 I576 see2370 four703 men1400 loose,8271 walking1981 in the midst1459 of the fire,5135 and they have383 no3809 hurt;2257 and the form7299 of1768 the fourth7244 is like1821 the Son1247 of God.426

25 The king answered and said, Behold I see men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like that of the Son of God.

26 Then116 Nebuchadnezzar5020 came near7127 to the mouth8651 of the burning3345 fiery5135 furnace,861 and spoke,6032 and said,560 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 ye servants5649 of1768 the most high5943 God,426 come forth,5312 and come858 hither. Then116 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 came forth5312 of4481 the midst1459 of the fire.5135

26 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king drew near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spoke and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the most High God, come forth and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came out of the midst of the fiery furnace.

27 And the princes,324 governors,5460 and captains,6347 and the king's4430 counselors,1907 being gathered together,3673 saw2370 these479 men,1400 upon whose1768 bodies1655 the fire5135 had no power,7981 3809 nor3809 was a hair8177 of their head7217 singed,2761 neither3809 were their coats5622 changed,8133 nor3809 the smell7382 of fire5135 had passed5709 on them.

27 And all the people, generals of the armies, governors, lords, and the great men of the king, being gathered together, saw these men upon whose bodies the fire had no power nor was the hair of their head singed neither were their trousers burned nor had the smell of fire passed on them.

28 Then Nebuchadnezzar5020 spoke,6032 and said,560 Blessed1289 be the God426 of1768 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 who1768 hath sent7972 his angel,4398 and delivered7804 his servants5649 that1768 trusted7365 in5922 him, and have changed8133 the king's4430 word,4406 and yielded3052 their bodies,1655 that1768 they might not3809 serve6399 nor3809 worship5457 any3606 god,426 except3861 their own God.426

28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have rejected the king's word and offered their bodies that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

29 Therefore I make4481 7761 a decree,2942 That1768 every3606 people,5972 nation,524 and language,3961 which1768 speak560 any thing amiss7955 against5922 the God426 of1768 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 shall be cut5648 in pieces,1917 and their houses1005 shall be made7739 a dunghill:5122 because3606 6903 1768 there is383 no3809 other321 God426 that1768 can3202 deliver5338 after this sort.1836

29 Therefore I make this decree: Every people, nation, and language which speaks blasphemy against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be plundered, because there is no other God that can deliver in this manner.

30 Then116 the king4430 promoted6744 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abed-nego,5665 in the province4083 of Babylon.895

30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.
