²⁴Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and he rose up in haste and he asked, saying to his advisers, “Did we not throw three men, bound, into the midst of the fire? They answered, saying to the king, “Certainly, O king!” ²⁵He answered,ⁿ saying, “Look, I see four men unbound walking in the midst of the fire and there is no damage to them, and the^o appearance of the fourth man resembles the son of a god.” ²⁶Then Nebuchadnezzar approached the door of the furnace of blazing fire, and he called out, saying, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants^p of the Most High God, come out^q and come here!” So then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out from the middle of the fire. ²⁷And the satraps, the prefects, the governors and the advisors of the king were assembling, and they saw these men, that the fire had no power over their bodies, and the hair of their heads was^r not singed, and their garments were not harmed, and the smell of fire did not come from them.

²⁸Nebuchadnezzar responded,^s saying, “Blessed be their God, the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who sent his angel^t and rescued his servants who trusted in him, and the command of the king they disobeyed, and they gave their bodies so that they did not serve and did not worship any god except their God.
