Dan 2:49 And Daniel1841 made1156 request1156 of the king4430, and he appointed4483 Shadrach7715, Meshach4336 and Abed-nego5665 over5922 the administration5673 of the province4083 of Babylon895, while Daniel1841was at the king's4430 court8651.
Dan 3:12 "There383 are certain1400 Jews3062 whom1768 you have appointed4483 over5922 the administration5673 of the province4083 of Babylon895, namely Shadrach7715, Meshach4336 and Abed-nego5665. These479 men1400, O king4430, have disregarded3809,7761,5922,2942 you; they do not serve6399 your gods426 or worship5457 the golden1722 image6755 which1768 you have set6966 up."
Dan 3:13 ¶ Then116 Nebuchadnezzar5020 in rage7266 and anger2528 gave560 orders560 to bring858 Shadrach7715, Meshach4336 and Abed-nego5665; then116 these479 men1400 were brought858 before6925 the king4430.
Dan 3:14 Nebuchadnezzar5020 responded6032 and said560 to them, "Is it true6656, Shadrach7715, Meshach4336 and Abed-nego5665, that you do383 not serve6399 my gods426 or worship5457 the golden1722 image6755 that I have set6966 up?
Dan 3:16 ¶ Shadrach7715, Meshach4336 and Abed-nego5665 replied6032 to the king4430, "O Nebuchadnezzar5020, we do not need2818 to give8421 you an answer6600 concerning5922 this1836 matter6600.
Dan 3:19 ¶ Then116 Nebuchadnezzar5020 was filled4391 with wrath2528, and his facial600 expression6755 was altered8133 toward5922 Shadrach7715, Meshach4336 and Abed-nego5665. He answered6032 by giving560 orders560 to heat228 the furnace861 seven7655 times2298 more5922 than5922,1768 it was usually2370 heated228.
Dan 3:20 He commanded560 certain1400 valiant2429 warriors1401 who1768were in his army2429 to tie3729 up Shadrach7715, Meshach4336 and Abed-nego5665 in order to cast7412them into the furnace861 of blazing3345 fire5135.
Dan 3:22 For this1836 reason3606,6903, because4481,1768 the king's4430 command4406was urgent2685 and the furnace861 had been made228 extremely3493 hot228, the flame7631 of the fire5135 slew6992 those479 men1400 who1768 carried5559 up Shadrach7715, Meshach4336 and Abed-nego5665.
Dan 3:23 But these479 three8532 men1400, Shadrach7715, Meshach4336 and Abed-nego5665, fell5308 into the midst1459 of the furnace861 of blazing3345 fire5135still tied3729 up.
Dan 3:26 Then116 Nebuchadnezzar5020 came7127 near7127 to the door8651 of the furnace861 of blazing3345 fire5135; he responded6032 and said560, "Shadrach7715, Meshach4336 and Abed-nego5665, come5312 out, you servants5649 of the Most5943 High5943 God426, and come858 here5312!" Then116 Shadrach7715, Meshach4336 and Abed-nego5665 came5312 out of the midst1459 of the fire5135.
Dan 3:28 ¶ Nebuchadnezzar5020 responded6032 and said560, "Blessed1289 be the God426 of Shadrach7715, Meshach4336 and Abed-nego5665, who1768 has sent7972 His angel4398 and delivered7804 His servants5649 who1768 put7365 their trust7365 in Him, violating8133 the king's4430 command4406, and yielded3052 up their bodies1655 so1768 as not to serve6399 or worship5457 any3606 god426 except3861b their own God426.
Dan 3:29 "Therefore I make7761 a decree2942 that any3606 people5972, nation524 or tongue3961 that speaks560 anything offensive7960 against5922 the God426 of Shadrach7715, Meshach4336 and Abed-nego5665 shall be torn5648 limb1917 from limb and their houses1005 reduced7739b to a rubbish5122 heap5122, inasmuch3606,6903,1768 as there383 is no3809 other321 god426 who1768 is able3202 to deliver5338 in this1836 way."
Dan 3:30 Then116 the king4430 caused Shadrach7715, Meshach4336 and Abed-nego5665 to prosper6744 in the province4083 of Babylon895.
