Daniel 3:13
Compare all
11 and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 aThere are certain Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; these men, O king, have bnot paid due regard to you. They do not serve your gods or worship the gold image which you have set up.”  
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar, in arage and fury, gave the command to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. So they brought these men before the king.  
14 Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the gold image which I have set up?
15 Now if you are ready at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, and you fall down and worship the image which I have made, agood! But if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. bAnd who is the god who will deliver you from my hands?”  
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, awe have no need to answer you in this matter.  
17 If that is the case, our aGod whom we serve is able to bdeliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.  
18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we aworship the gold image which you have set up.”  

Saved in Fiery Trial

19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. He spoke and commanded that they heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.
20 And he commanded certain mighty men of valor who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 Therefore, because the king’s command was1 urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego.  
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his1 counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.”  
25 “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, awalking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like bthe Son of God.”  

Nebuchadnezzar Praises God

26 Then Nebuchadnezzar went near the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spoke, saying, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the aMost High God, come out, and come here.” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego came from the midst of the fire.  
27 And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together, and they saw these men aon whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them.  
28 Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His aAngel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God!  
29 aTherefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or language which speaks anything amiss against the bGod of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego shall be ccut in pieces, and their houses shall be made an ash heap; dbecause there is no other God who can deliver like this.”  
30 Then the king1 promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego in the province of Babylon.
