Daniel 3
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
made
an
image
of
gold,
whose
height
was
threescore
cubits,
and
the
breadth
thereof
six
cubits:
he
set
it
up
in
the
plain
of
Dura,
in
the
province
of
Babylon.
2 Then
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
sent
to
gather
together
the
princes,
the
governors,
and
the
captains,
the
judges,
the
treasurers,
the
counsellors,
the
sheriffs,
and
all
the
rulers
of
the
provinces,
to
come
to
the
dedication
of
the
image
which
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
had
set
up.
3 Then
the
princes,
the
governors,
and
captains,
the
judges,
the
treasurers,
the
counsellors,
the
sheriffs,
and
all
the
rulers
of
the
provinces,
were
gathered
together
unto
the
dedication
of
the
image
that
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
had
set
up;
and
they
stood
before
the
image
that
Nebuchadnezzar
had
set
up.
4 Then
an
herald
cried
aloud,
To
you
it
is
commanded,
O
people,
nations,
and
a
languages,
5 That
at
what
time
ye
hear
the
sound
of
the
cornet,
flute,
a
harp,
b
sackbut,
psaltery,
c
dulcimer,
and
all
kinds
of
musick,
ye
fall
down
and
worship
the
golden
image
that
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
hath
set
up:
6 And
whoso
falleth
not
down
and
worshippeth
shall
the
same
hour
be
a
cast
into
the
midst
of
a
b
burning
fiery
furnace.
7 Therefore
at
that
time,
when
all
the
people
heard
the
sound
of
the
cornet,
flute,
harp,
sackbut,
psaltery,
and
all
kinds
of
musick,
all
the
people,
the
nations,
and
the
languages,
fell
down
and
worshipped
the
golden
image
that
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
had
set
up.
8 Wherefore
at
that
time
certain
Chaldeans
came
near,
and
accused
the
Jews.
9 They
spake
and
said
to
the
king
Nebuchadnezzar,
O
king,
live
for
ever.
10 Thou,
O
king,
hast
made
a
decree,
that
every
man
that
shall
hear
the
sound
of
the
cornet,
flute,
harp,
sackbut,
psaltery,
and
dulcimer,
and
all
kinds
of
musick,
shall
fall
down
and
worship
the
golden
image:
11 And
whoso
falleth
not
down
and
worshippeth,
that
he
should
be
cast
into
the
midst
of
a
burning
fiery
furnace.
12 There
are
certain
Jews
whom
thou
hast
a
set
over
the
affairs
of
the
province
of
Babylon,
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego;
these
men,
O
king,
have
not
regarded
thee:
they
serve
not
thy
gods,
nor
worship
the
golden
image
which
thou
hast
set
up.
13 Then
Nebuchadnezzar
in
his
rage
and
fury
commanded
to
bring
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego.
Then
they
brought
these
men
before
the
king.
14 Nebuchadnezzar
spake
and
said
unto
them,
Is
it
true,
O
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
do
not
ye
serve
my
gods,
nor
worship
the
golden
image
which
I
have
set
up?
15 Now
if
ye
be
ready
that
at
what
time
ye
hear
the
sound
of
the
cornet,
flute,
harp,
sackbut,
psaltery,
and
dulcimer,
and
all
kinds
of
musick,
ye
fall
down
and
worship
the
image
which
I
have
made;
well:
but
if
ye
worship
not,
ye
shall
be
cast
the
same
hour
into
the
midst
of
a
burning
fiery
furnace;
and
who
is
that
God
that
shall
deliver
you
out
of
my
hands?
16 Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
answered
and
said
to
the
king,
O
Nebuchadnezzar,
we
are
not
a
careful
to
answer
thee
in
this
matter.
17 If
it
be
so,
our
God
whom
we
serve
is
able
to
a
deliver
us
from
the
burning
fiery
furnace,
and
he
will
deliver
us
out
of
thine
hand,
O
king.
18 But
if
not,
be
it
known
unto
thee,
O
king,
that
we
will
not
a
serve
thy
gods,
nor
worship
the
golden
image
which
thou
hast
set
up.
19 Then
was
Nebuchadnezzar
full
of
fury,
and
the
a
form
of
his
visage
was
changed
against
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego:
therefore
he
spake,
and
commanded
that
they
should
heat
the
furnace
one
seven
times
more
than
it
was
wont
to
be
heated.
20 And
he
commanded
the
most
mighty
men
that
were
in
his
army
to
bind
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
and
to
cast
them
into
the
burning
fiery
furnace.
21 Then
these
men
were
bound
in
their
coats,
their
hosen,
and
their
hats,
and
their
other
garments,
and
were
cast
into
the
midst
of
the
burning
fiery
furnace.
22 Therefore
because
the
king's
commandment
was
urgent,
and
the
furnace
exceeding
hot,
the
flame
of
the
fire
slew
those
men
that
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
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
was
astonied,
and
rose
up
in
haste,
and
spake,
and
said
unto
his
counsellors,
Did
not
we
cast
three
men
bound
into
the
midst
of
the
fire?
They
answered
and
said
unto
the
king,
True,
O
king.
25 He
answered
and
said,
Lo,
I
see
four
men
loose,
walking
in
the
midst
of
the
fire,
and
they
have
no
a
hurt;
and
the
form
of
the
fourth
is
like
the
Son
of
God.
26 Then
Nebuchadnezzar
came
near
to
the
mouth
of
the
burning
fiery
furnace,
and
spake,
and
said,
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
ye
servants
of
the
most
high
God,
come
forth,
and
come
hither.
Then
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
came
forth
of
the
midst
of
the
fire.
27 And
the
princes,
governors,
and
captains,
and
the
king's
counsellors,
being
gathered
together,
saw
these
men,
upon
whose
bodies
the
a
fire
had
no
power,
nor
was
an
hair
of
their
head
singed,
neither
were
their
coats
b
changed,
nor
the
smell
of
fire
had
passed
on
them.
28 Then
Nebuchadnezzar
spake,
and
said,
Blessed
be
the
God
of
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
who
hath
sent
his
a
angel,
and
delivered
his
servants
that
b
trusted
in
him,
and
c
have
changed
the
king's
word,
and
yielded
their
bodies,
that
they
might
not
serve
nor
worship
any
god,
except
their
own
God.
29 Therefore
I
make
a
decree,
That
every
people,
nation,
and
language,
which
speak
any
thing
amiss
against
the
God
of
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
shall
be
a
cut
in
pieces,
and
their
houses
shall
be
made
a
dunghill:
because
there
is
no
other
God
that
can
b
deliver
after
this
sort.
30 Then
the
king
a
promoted
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abed-nego,
in
the
province
of
Babylon.
