1: Nebuchadnezzar_H5020 king the_H4430 made_H5648 an image_H6755 of_H1768 gold,_H1722 whose height [was]_H7314 cubits,_H0521 sixty_H8361 [and] its width_H6613 cubits-_H0521 six_H8353 He set it up_H6966 in the plain_H1236 of Dura,_H1757 in the province_H4083 of Babylon._H0895

2: And Nebuchadnezzar_H5020 King_H4430 sent [word]_H7972 to gather together_H3673 satraps the,_H0324 administrators the,_H5460 and governors the,_H6347 counselors the,_H0148 treasurers the,_H1411 judges the,_H1884 magistrates,_H8614 and all_H3606 the officials_H7984 of provinces the,_H4083 to come_H0858 to the dedication_H2597 of image the_H6755 which_H1768 had set up_H6966 Nebuchadnezzar_H5020 King._H4430

3: Then_H0116 gathered together_H3673 satraps the,_H0324 administrators the,_H5460 and governors the,_H6347 counselors the,_H0148 treasurers the,_H1411 judges the,_H1884 magistrates,_H8614 and all_H3606 the officials_H7984 of provinces the,_H4083 for the dedication_H2597 of image the_H6755 that_H1768 had set up-_H6966 Nebuchadnezzar_H5020 King_H4430 and they stood_H6966 before_H6903 image the_H6755 that_H1768 had set up_H6966 Nebuchadnezzar._H5020

4: And a herald_H3744 cried_H7123 aloud,_H2429 it is commanded,_H0560 peoples,_H5972 nations,_H0524 and languages,_H3961

5: [that] at time the_H5732 which_H1768 you hear_H8086 the sound_H7032 of horn the,_H7162 flute,_H4953 harp,_H7030 lyre,_H5443 [and] psaltery,_H6460 in symphony with,_H5481 and all_H3606 kinds_H2178 of music,_H2170 you shall fall down_H5308 and worship_H5457 image_H6755 gold the_H1722 that_H1768 has set up-_H6966 Nebuchadnezzar_H5020 King._H4430

6: And [he] who_H4479 down_H1768 and not_H3809 does fall down_H5308 and worship_H5457 immediately_H8160 shall be cast_H7412 into midst of_H1459 a furnace_H0861 And fiery_H5135 burning the._H3345

7: all_H3606 according to_H6903 therefore_H1836 that time,_H2166 when_H1768 heard_H8086 all_H3606 people the_H5972 the sound_H7032 of horn the,_H7162 flute,_H4953 harp,_H7030 [and] lyre,_H5443 in symphony with,_H6460 and all_H3606 kinds_H2178 of music,_H2170 fell down_H5308 all_H3606 people the,_H5972 nations,_H0524 and languages,_H3961 [and] worshiped_H5457 image_H6755 gold the_H1722 which_H1768 had set up_H6966 Nebuchadnezzar_H5020 King._H4430

8: Reason_H3606 For_H6903 therefore_H1836 that time_H2166 came forward,_H7127 certain_H1400 Chaldeans_H3779 and_H0399 accused_H7170 which_H1768 Jews._H3062

9: They spoke_H6032 and said_H0560 to Nebuchadnezzar,_H5020 king_H4430 King,_H4430 forever_H5957 live._H2418 You,_H0607 king,_H4430 have made_H7761 a decree,_H2942 that_H1768 any_H3606 man_H0606 who_H1768 hears_H8086 the sound_H7032 of horn the,_H7162 flute,_H4953 harp,_H7030 lyre,_H5443 [and] psaltery,_H6460 in symphony with,_H5481 and all_H3606 kinds_H2178 of music,_H2170 shall fall down_H5308 and worship_H5457 image_H6755 gold the._H1722

11: And [he] who_H4479 down_H1768 and not_H3809 does fall down_H5308 and worship,_H5457 shall be cast_H7412 into the midst_H1459 of a furnace_H0861 And fiery_H5135 burning._H3345

12: [There] are_H0383 certain_H1400 Jews_H3062 whom_H1768 you have set_H4483 -_H3487 over_H5922 the affairs_H5673 of the province_H4083 of Babylon,_H0895 Shadrach,_H7715 Meshach,_H4336 Abed-nego-_H5665 men,_H1400 these_H0479 not_H3809 have paid due regard_H7761 to you_H5921 king,_H4430 regarded_H2942 your gods,_H0426 not_H3809 they do serve_H6399 or image_H6755 gold the_H1722 which_H1768 you have set up._H6966 Nor_H3809 worship._H5457

13: Then_H0116 Nebuchadnezzar_H5020 in rage_H7266 and fury_H2528 gave the command_H0560 to bring_H0858 Shadrach,_H7715 Meshach,_H4336 Abed-nego._H5665 Then_H0116 men_H1400 these_H0479 they brought_H0858 before_H6925 king the._H4430

14: Spoke_H6032 Nebuchadnezzar_H5020 and saying_H0560 is [it] true,_H6656 Shadrach,_H7715 Meshach,_H4336 Abed-nego,_H5665 my gods,_H0426 not_H3809 [you] are_H0383 [that] serving_H6399 or image_H6755 gold the_H1722 which_H1768 I have set up?_H6966 nor_H3809 worship._H5457

15: Now_H3705 if_H2006 [you] are_H0383 ready_H6263 that_H1768 at time the_H5732 which_H1768 you hear_H8086 the sound_H7032 of horn the,_H7162 flute,_H4953 harp,_H7030 lyre,_H5443 [and] psaltery,_H6460 and in symphony with,_H5481 and all_H3606 kinds_H2178 of music,_H2170 and you fall down_H5308 and worship_H5457 image the_H6755 which_H1768 I have made-_H5648 and [good] but if_H2006 not,_H3809 you do worship_H5457 immediately_H8160 you shall be cast_H7412 into the midst_H1459 of a furnace-_H0861 fiery_H5135 burning_H3345 and who_H4479 is_H1932 the god_H0426 who_H1768 will deliver you_H7804 from_H4481 my hands?_H3028

16: answered_H6032 Shadrach,_H7715 Meshach,_H4336 Abed-nego,_H5665 and said_H0560 to king the,_H4430 Nebuchadnezzar,_H5020 no_H3809 have need_H2818 we_H0586 in_H5922 this_H1836 matter_H6600 to answer you._H8421

17: If_H2006 [that] is [the case]_H0383 our God_H0426 whom_H1768 we_H0586 serve_H6399 is able_H3202 to deliver us_H7804 from_H4481 furnace,_H0861 fiery_H5135 burning the_H3345 and from_H4481 your hand,_H3028 king_H4430 He will deliver [us]._H7804

18: But if_H2006 not,_H3809 be known_H3046 let it_H1934 king,_H4430 that_H1768 your gods,_H0426 not_H3809 [we] are_H0383 serving_H6399 and image_H6755 gold the_H1722 which_H1768 you have set up._H6966 Nor_H3809 will we worship._H5457

19: Then_H0116 Nebuchadnezzar_H5020 was full_H4391 of fury,_H2528 and the expression on_H6755 his face_H0600 changed_H8133 toward_H5922 Shadrach,_H7715 Meshach,_H4336 Abed-nego._H5665 He spoke,_H6032 and commanded_H0560 that they heat_H0228 furnace the_H0861 times_H2298 seven_H7655 more_H5922 than_H1768 it usually_H2370 was heated._H0228

20: And certain men_H1400 mighty_H1401 of valor_H2429 who [were]_H1768 in his army_H2429 he commanded_H0560 to bind_H3729 Shadrach,_H7715 Meshach,_H4336 Abed-nego,_H5665 [and] cast [them]_H7412 into furnace_H0861 fiery_H5135 burning the._H3345

21: Then_H0116 men_H1400 these_H0479 were bound_H3729 in their coats,_H5622 their trousers,_H6361 and their turbans,_H3737 and their [other] garments,_H3831 and were cast_H7412 into the midst_H1459 of furnace_H0861 fiery_H5135 burning the._H3345

22: Reason_H3606 For_H6903 therefore_H1836 upon_H4481 that_H1768 command_H4406 king's the_H4430 was urgent,_H2685 and furnace the_H0861 hot,_H0228 exceedingly_H3493 men_H1400 these_H0479 who_H1768 took up_H5267 Shadrach,_H7715 Meshach,_H4336 Abed-nego._H5665 Killed_H6992 them_H1994 flame the_H7631 of_H1768 fire the._H5135

23: And men,_H1400 these_H0479 three_H8532 Shadrach,_H7715 Meshach,_H4336 Abed-nego,_H5665 fell down_H5308 into the midst_H1459 of furnace._H0861 Fiery_H5135 burning the_H3345 bound._H3729

24: Then_H0116 Nebuchadnezzar_H5020 king_H4430 was astonished,_H8429 and he rose_H6966 in haste,_H0927 [and] spoke,_H6032 and saying_H0560 to his counselors,_H1907 not_H3809 men_H1400 three_H8532 did we cast_H7412 into the midst_H1459 of fire the?_H5135 bound_H3729 they answered_H6032 and said_H0560 to king the,_H4430 TRUE,_H3330 King._H4430

25: He answered_H6032 and,_H0560 Look,_H1888 I_H0576 see_H2370 men_H1400 four_H0703 loose,_H8271 walking_H1981 in the midst_H1459 of fire the,_H5135 and hurt-_H2257 not_H3809 are_H0383 and the form_H7299 of_H1768 fourth the_H7244 is like_H1821 the Son_H1247 of God._H0426

26: Then_H0116 went near_H7127 Nebuchadnezzar_H5020 the mouth_H8651 of furnace,_H0861 fiery_H5135 burning the_H3345 [and] spoke,_H6032 and saying,_H0560 Shadrach,_H7715 Meshach,_H4336 Abed-nego,_H5665 servants_H5649 of_H1768 God,_H0426 Most High the_H5943 come out,_H5312 and come [here]_H0858 then_H0116 came_H5312 Shadrach,_H7715 Meshach,_H4336 Abed-nego,_H5665 from_H4481 the midst_H1459 of fire the._H5135

27: And gathered together,_H3673 satraps the,_H0324 administrators,_H5460 and governors,_H6347 and counselors,_H1907 king's the_H4430 and they saw_H2370 men,_H1400 these_H0479 on whose_H1768 no_H3809 had power,_H7981 fire the_H5135 on whose bodies_H1655 and the hair_H8177 of their head_H7217 not_H3809 was singed,_H2761 and their garments_H5622 nor_H3809 were affected,_H8133 and the smell_H7382 of fire_H5135 not_H3809 was_H5709

28: Spoke,_H6032 Nebuchadnezzar_H5020 and saying,_H0560 Blessed be_H1289 the God_H0426 of_H1768 Shadrach,_H7715 Meshach,_H4336 Abed-nego,_H5665 who_H1768 sent_H7972 His Angel,_H4398 and delivered_H7804 His servants_H5649 who_H1768 trusted_H7365 in Him_H5922 and word,_H4406 king's the_H4430 they have frustrated_H8133 and yielded_H3052 their bodies,_H1655 that_H1768 not_H3809 they should serve_H6399 nor_H3809 worship_H5457 any_H3606 god,_H0426 except_H3861 their own God._H0426

29: Therefore I_H4481 make_H7761 a decree,_H2942 that_H1768 any_H3606 people,_H5972 nation,_H0524 or language,_H3961 which_H1768 speaks_H0560 amiss_H7955 against_H5922 the God_H0426 of_H1768 Shadrach,_H7715 Meshach,_H4336 Abed-nego,_H5665 in pieces,_H1917 shall be cut_H5648 and their houses_H1005 an ash heap-_H5122 shall be made_H7739 all_H3606 according to_H6903 because_H1768 no_H3809 [there] is_H0383 God_H0426 other_H0321 who_H1768 can_H3202 deliver_H5338 like this._H1836

30: Then_H0116 king the_H4430 promoted_H6744 Shadrach,_H7715 Meshach,_H4336 Abed-nego,_H5665 in the province_H4083 of Babylon._H0895
