23And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego fell, bound, into the furnace of blazing fire.

DELIVERED FROM THE FIRE

24Then King Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in alarm.l He said to his advisers, “Didn’t we throw three men, bound, into the fire?”

“Yes, of course, Your Majesty,” they replied to the king.

25He exclaimed, “Look! I see four men, not tied, walking around in the fire unharmed;m and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.”Dn

26Nebuchadnezzar then approached the door of the furnace of blazing fire and called, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you servants of the Most High God—come out!” So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire.o 27When the satraps, prefects, governors, and the king’s advisers gathered around, they saw that the fire had no effectp onE the bodies of these men: not a hair of their heads was singed, their robes were unaffected, and there was no smell of fire on them.q 28Nebuchadnezzar exclaimed, “Praise to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angelFr and rescued his servants who trusted in him.s They violated the king’s command and risked their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.t 29Therefore I issue a decreeu that anyone of any people, nation, or languagev who says anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will be torn limb from limb and his house made a garbage dump.w For there is no other god who is able to deliver like this.” 30Then the king rewarded Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.x
