Compare all
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.
