16 ♥ 📝 Shadrach,^H7715 Meshach,^H4336 and Abed-nego^H5665 answered^H6032 and said^H560 to the king,^H4430 O Nebuchadnezzar,^H5020 we^H586 have no^H3809 need^H2818 to answer^H8421 thee in^H5922 this^H1836 matter.^H6600

18 ♥ 📝 But if^H2006 not,^H3809 be it^H1934 known^H3046 unto thee, O king,^H4430 that we will^H383 not^H3809 serve^H6399 thy gods,^H426 nor^H3809 worship^H5457 the golden^H1722 image^H6755 which thou hast set up.^H6966

19 ♥ 📝 Then^H116 was Nebuchadnezzar^H5020 full^H4391 of fury,^H2528 and the form^H6755 of his visage^H600 was changed^H8133 against^H5922 Shadrach,^H7715 Meshach,^H4336 and Abed-nego:^H5665 [therefore] he spake,^H6032 and commanded^H560 that they should heat^H228 the furnace^{H861 H2298} seven times^H7655 more^H5922 than^H1768 it was wont^H2370 to be heated.^H228

22 ♥ 📝 Therefore^H3606 because^H4481 the king's^H4430 commandment^H4406 was urgent,^H2685 and the furnace^H861 exceeding^H3493 hot,^H228 the flame^H7631 of the fire^H5135 slew^H6992 those^H479 men^H1400 that took up^H5267 Shadrach,^H7715 Meshach,^H4336 and Abed-nego.^H5665

23 ♥ 📝 And these^H479 three^H8532 men,^H1400 Shadrach,^H7715 Meshach,^H4336 and Abed-nego,^H5665 fell down^H5308 bound^H3729 into the midst^H1459 of the burning^H3345 fiery^H5135 furnace.^H861

24 ♥ 📝 Then^H116 Nebuchadnezzar^H5020 the king^H4430 was astonished,^H8429 and rose up^H6966 in haste:^H927 he spake^H6032 and said^H560 unto his counsellors,^H1907 Did not^H3809 we cast^H7412 three^H8532 men^H1400 bound^H3729 into the midst^H1459 of the fire?^H5135 They answered^H6032 and said^H560 unto the king,^H4430 True,^H3330 O king.^H4430

25 ♥ 📝 He answered^H6032 and said,^H560 Lo,^H1888 I^H576 see^H2370 four^H703 men^H1400 loose,^H8271 walking^H1981 in the midst^H1459 of the fire,^H5135 and they have^H383 no^H3809 hurt;^H2257 and the aspect^H7299 of the fourth^H7244 is like^H1821 a son^H1247 of the gods.^H426

26 ♥ 📝 Then^H116 Nebuchadnezzar^H5020 came near^H7127 to the mouth^H8651 of the burning^H3345 fiery^H5135 furnace:^H861 he spake^H6032 and said,^H560 Shadrach,^H7715 Meshach,^H4336 and Abed-nego,^H5665 ye servants^H5649 of the Most High^H5943 God,^H426 come forth,^H5312 and come^H858 hither. Then^H116 Shadrach,^H7715 Meshach,^H4336 and Abed-nego^H5665 came forth^H5312 out of^H4481 the midst^H1459 of the fire.^H5135

27 ♥ 📝 And the satraps,^H324 the deputies,^H5460 and the governors,^H6347 and the king's^H4430 counsellors,^H1907 being gathered together,^H3673 saw^H2370 these^H479 men,^H1400 that the fire^H5135 had no^H3809 power^H7981 upon their bodies,^H1655 nor^H3809 was the hair^H8177 of their head^H7217 singed,^H2761 neither^H3809 were their hosen^H5622 changed,^H8133 nor^H3809 had the smell^H7382 of fire^H5135 passed^H5709 on them.

28 ♥ 📝 Nebuchadnezzar^H5020 spake^H6032 and said,^H560 Blessed^H1289 be the God^H426 of Shadrach,^H7715 Meshach,^H4336 and Abed-nego,^H5665 who hath sent^H7972 his angel,^H4398 and delivered^H7804 his servants^H5649 that trusted^H7365 in him,^H5922 and have changed^H8133 the king's^H4430 word,^H4406 and have yielded^H3052 their bodies,^H1655 that they might not^H3809 serve^H6399 nor^H3809 worship^H5457 any^H3606 god,^H426 except^H3861 their own God.^H426

29 ♥ 📝 Therefore I^H4481 make^H7761 a decree,^H2942 that every^H3606 people,^H5972 nation,^H524 and language,^H3961 which speak^H560 anything amiss^H7960 against^H5922 the God^H426 of Shadrach,^H7715 Meshach,^H4336 and Abed-nego,^H5665 shall be cut^H5648 in pieces,^H1917 and their houses^H1005 shall be made^H7739 a dunghill;^H5122 because^H6903 there is^H383 no^H3809 other^H321 god^H426 that is^H383 able to deliver^H5338 after this^H1836 sort.

30 ♥ 📝 Then^H116 the king^H4430 promoted^H6744 Shadrach,^H7715 Meshach,^H4336 and Abed-nego^H5665 in the province^H4083 of Babylon.^H895
