1 # Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the king <04430> made <05648> (8754) an image <06755> of gold <01722>, whose height <07314> was threescore <08361> cubits <0521>, and the breadth <06613> thereof six <08353> cubits <0521> : he set it up <06966> (8684) in the plain <01236> of Dura <01757>, in the province <04083> of Babylon <0895>.
2 Then Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the king <04430> sent <07972> (8754) to gather together <03673> (8749) the princes <0324>, the governors <05460>, and the captains <06347>, the judges <0148>, the treasurers <01411>, the counsellors <01884> , the sheriffs <08614>, and all <03606> the rulers <07984> of the provinces <04083>, to come <0858> (8749) to the dedication <02597> of the image <06755> which Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the king <04430> had set up <06966> (8684).
3 Then <0116> the princes <0324>, the governors <05460>, and captains <06347>, the judges <0148>, the treasurers <01411>, the counsellors <01884>, the sheriffs <08614>, and all <03606> the rulers <07984> of the provinces <04083>, were gathered together <03673> (8723) unto the dedication <02597> of the image <06755> that Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the king <04430> had set up <06966> (8684); and they stood <06966> (8750) before <06903> the image <06755> that Nebuchadnezzar <05020> had set up <06966> (8684).
4 Then an herald <03744> cried <07123> (8751) aloud <02429>, To you it is commanded <0560> (8750), O people <05972>, nations <0524>, and languages <03961>,
5 That at what time <05732> ye hear <08086> (8748) the sound <07032> of the cornet <07162>, flute <04953>, harp <07030> (8675) <07030>, sackbut <05443>, psaltery <06460>, dulcimer <05481>, and all <03606> kinds <02178> of musick <02170>, ye fall down <05308> (8748) and worship <05457> (8748) the golden <01722> image <06755> that Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the king <04430> hath set up <06966> (8684):
6 And whoso <04479> falleth <05308> <00> not <03809> down <05308> (8748) and worshippeth <05457> (8748) shall the same hour <08160> be cast <07412> (8729) into the midst <01459> of a burning <03345> (8751) fiery <05135> furnace <0861>.
7 Therefore <06903> <01836> at that time <02166>, when <01768> all <03606> the people <05972> heard <08086> (8750) the sound <07032> of the cornet <07162>, flute <04953>, harp <07030> (8675) <07030>, sackbut <05443>, psaltery <06460>, and all <03606> kinds <02178> of musick <02170>, all <03606> the people <05972>, the nations <0524>, and the languages <03961>, fell down <05308> (8750) and worshipped <05457> (8750) the golden <01722> image <06755> that Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the king <04430> had set up <06966> (8684).
8 # Wherefore <06903> <03606> at that <01836> time <02166> certain <01400> Chaldeans <03779> came near <07127> (8754), and accused <07170> <0399> (8754) the Jews <03062>.
9 They spake <06032> (8754) and said <0560> (8750) to the king <04430> Nebuchadnezzar <05020>, O king <04430>, live <02418> (8747) for ever <05957>.
10 Thou <0607>, O king <04430>, hast made <07761> (8754) a decree <02942>, that every <03606> man <0606> that shall hear <08086> (8748) the sound <07032> of the cornet <07162>, flute <04953>, harp <07030> (8675) <07030>, sackbut <05443>, psaltery <06460>, and dulcimer <05481> (8675) <05481>, and all <03606> kinds <02178> of musick <02170>, shall fall down <05308> (8748) and worship <05457> (8748) the golden <01722> image <06755>:
11 And whoso <04479> falleth <05308> <00> not <03809> down <05308> (8748) and worshippeth <05457> (8748), that he should be cast <07412> (8729) into the midst <01459> of a burning <03345> (8751) fiery <05135> furnace <0861>.
12 There are <0383> certain <01400> Jews <03062> whom <03487> thou hast set <04483> (8745) over <05922> the affairs <05673> of the province <04083> of Babylon <0895>, Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665> ; these <0479> men <01400>, O king <04430>, have <07761> (8754) not <03809> regarded <02942> thee <05922> : they serve <06399> (8750) not <03809> thy gods <0426>, nor <03809> worship <05457> (8750) the golden <01722> image <06755> which thou hast set up <06966> (8684).
13 Then <0116> Nebuchadnezzar <05020> in his rage <07266> and fury <02528> commanded <0560> (8754) to bring <0858> (8682) Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>. Then <0116> they brought <0858> (8717) these <0479> men <01400> before <06925> the king <04430>.
14 Nebuchadnezzar <05020> spake <06032> (8750) and said <0560> (8750) unto them, Is it true <06656> , O Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>, do not <03809> ye <0383> serve <06399> (8750) my gods <0426>, nor <03809> worship <05457> (8750) the golden <01722> image <06755> which I have set <06966> (8684) up?
15 Now <03705> if <02006> ye be <0383> ready <06263> that at what time <05732> ye hear <08086> (8748) the sound <07032> of the cornet <07162>, flute <04953>, harp <07030> (8675) <07030>, sackbut <05443> , psaltery <06460>, and dulcimer <05481>, and all <03606> kinds <02178> of musick <02170>, ye fall down <05308> (8748) and worship <05457> (8748) the image <06755> which I have made <05648> (8754); well: but if <02006> ye worship <05457> (8748) not <03809>, ye shall be cast <07412> (8729) the same hour <08160> into the midst <01459> of a burning <03345> (8751) fiery <05135> furnace <0861>; and who <04479> is that God <0426> that shall deliver <07804> (8755) you out of <04481> my hands <03028>?
16 Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>, answered <06032> (8754) and said <0560> (8750) to the king <04430>, O Nebuchadnezzar <05020>, we <0586> are not <03809> careful <02818> (8750) to answer <08421> (8682) thee in <05922> this <01836> matter <06600>.
17 If <02006> it be so, our God <0426> whom we <0586> serve <06399> (8750) is <0383> able <03202> (8750) to deliver <07804> (8756) us from <04481> the burning <03345> (8751) fiery <05135> furnace <0861>, and <04481> <00> he will deliver <07804> (8755) us out of <04481> thine hand <03028>, O king <04430>.

18 But if <02006> not <03809>, be it <01934> (8748) known <03046> (8752) unto thee, O king <04430> , that we will <0383> not <03809> serve <06399> (8750) thy gods <0426>, nor <03809> worship <05457> (8748) the golden <01722> image <06755> which thou hast set up <06966> (8684).
19 # Then <0116> was Nebuchadnezzar <05020> full <04391> (8728) of fury <02528>, and the form <06755> of his visage <0600> was changed <08133> (8724) against <05922> Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665> : therefore he spake <06032> (8750), and commanded <0560> (8750) that they should heat <0228> (8749) the furnace <0861> one <02298> seven times <07655> more <05922> than <01768> it was wont <02370> (8752) to be heated <0228> (8749).
20 And he commanded <0560> (8754) the most <02429> mighty <01401> men <01400> that were in his army <02429> to bind <03729> (8742) Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>, and to cast <07412> (8749) them into the burning <03345> (8751) fiery <05135> furnace <0861>.
21 Then <0116> these <0479> men <01400> were bound <03729> (8760) in their coats <05622>, their hosen <06361> (8675) <06361>, and their hats <03737>, and their other garments <03831>, and were cast <07412> (8752) into the midst <01459> of the burning <03345> (8751) fiery <05135> furnace <0861>.
22 Therefore <03606> <06903> because <04481> <01836> the king's <04430> commandment <04406> was urgent <02685> (8683), and the furnace <0861> exceeding <03493> hot <0228> (8752), the flame <07631> of the fire <05135> slew <06992> (8745) those <0479> men <01400> <01994> that took up <05267> (8684) Shadrach <07715> , Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>.
23 And these <0479> three <08532> men <01400>, Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665> , fell down <05308> (8754) bound <03729> (8743) into the midst <01459> of the burning <03345> (8751) fiery <05135> furnace <0861>.
24 Then <0116> Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the king <04430> was astonied <08429> (8754), and rose up <06966> (8754) in haste <0927> (8726), and spake <06032> (8750), and said <0560> (8750) unto his counsellors <01907>, Did not <03809> we cast <07412> (8754) three <08532> men <01400> bound <03729> (8743) into the midst <01459> of the fire <05135>? They answered <06032> (8750) and said <0560> (8750) unto the king <04430>, True <03330>, O king <04430>.
25 He answered <06032> (8750) and said <0560> (8750), Lo <01888>, I <0576> see <02370> (8751) four <0703> men <01400> loose <08271> (8750), walking <01981> (8683) in the midst <01459> of the fire <05135>, and they have <0383> no <03809> hurt <02257>; and the form <07299> of the fourth <07244> is like <01821> (8751) the Son <01247> of God <0426>.
26 Then <0116> Nebuchadnezzar <05020> came near <07127> (8754) to the mouth <08651> of the burning <03345> (8751) fiery <05135> furnace <0861>, and spake <06032> (8750), and said <0560> (8750), Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>, ye servants <05649> of the most high <05943> God <0426>, come forth <05312> (8747), and come <0858> (8747) hither. Then <0116> Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665> , came forth <05312> (8750) of <04481> the midst <01459> of the fire <05135>.
27 And the princes <0324>, governors <05460>, and captains <06347>, and the king's <04430> counsellors <01907>, being gathered together <03673> (8723), saw <02370> (8751) these <0479> men <01400>, upon whose bodies <01655> the fire <05135> had no <03809> power <07981> (8754), nor <03809> was an hair <08177> of their head <07217> singed <02761> (8724), neither <03809> were their coats <05622> changed <08133> (8754), nor <03809> the smell <07382> of fire <05135> had passed <05709> (8754) on them.
28 # Then Nebuchadnezzar <05020> spake <06032> (8750), and said <0560> (8750), Blessed <01289> (8752) be the God <0426> of Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>, who hath sent <07972> (8754) his angel <04398>, and delivered <07804> (8758) his servants <05649> that trusted <07365> (8702) in him <05922> , and have changed <08133> (8745) the king's <04430> word <04406>, and yielded <03052> (8754) their bodies <01655> , that they might not <03809> serve <06399> (8748) nor <03809> worship <05457> (8748) any <03606> god <0426>, except <03861> their own God <0426>.

29 Therefore I <04481> make <07761> (8752) a decree <02942>, That every <03606> people <05972>, nation <0524>, and language <03961>, which speak <0560> (8748) any thing amiss <07960> (8675) <07955> against <05922> the God <0426> of Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>, shall be cut <05648> (8725) in pieces <01917>, and their houses <01005> shall be made <07739> (8721) a dunghill <05122>: because <06903> <03606> there is <0383> no <03809> other <0321> God <0426> that can <03202> (8748) deliver <05338> (8682) after this <01836> sort.
30 Then <0116> the king <04430> promoted <06744> (8684) Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>, in the province <04083> of Babylon <0895>.
