Daniel 3:19–27

¹⁹Then was Nebuchadnezzar ^cfull of fury, and the form of ^dhis visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heat. ²⁰And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. ²¹Then these men were bound in their ^ecoats, their hosen, and their ^fhats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. ²²Therefore because the king’s commandment was ^gurgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, ^hthe flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. ²³And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace ⁱ.

²⁴Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up ^kin haste, and spake, and said unto his ^lcounsellers, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. ²⁵He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, ^mwalking in the midst of the fire, and ⁿthey have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like ^othe Son of God. ²⁶Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of ^pthe most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ^qcame forth of the midst of the fire. ²⁷And ^rthe princes, ^rgovernors, and ^rcaptains, and the king’s ^lcounsellers, being gathered together, saw these men, ^supon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was a hair of their head singed, neither were their ^ecoats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
