Read Daniel 3 in full →23But these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, afell into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire still tied up.
24Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and hurriedly stood up; he answered and said to his high officials, “Was it not three men we cast tied up into the midst of the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “Certainly, O king.” 25He answered and said, “Look! I see four men loosed and awalking about in the midst of the fire 1without harm, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the bgods!” 26Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the furnace of blazing fire; he answered and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, come out, you servants of the aMost High God, and come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego bcame out of the midst of the fire. 27Then the asatraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king’s high officials gathered around and saw in regard to these men that the bfire had no power over 1the bodies of these men, nor was the hair of their head singed, nor were their 2,ctrousers 3damaged, nor had the smell of fire even come upon them.
28Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, “Blessed be the aGod of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has bsent His angel and saved His servants who put their ctrust in Him, 1violating the king’s word, and gave up their bodies so as dnot to serve and not to worship any god except their own God. 29“Therefore I amake a decree that any people, nation, or tongue that says anything offensive against the God of bShadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego shall be torn limb from limb and their chouses reduced to a rubbish heap, inasmuch as there is dno other god who is able to deliver in this way.” 30Then the king acaused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego to succeed in the province of Babylon.
