27:003:018 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not
serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast
set up.
27:003:019 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
27:003:020 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to
bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into
the burning fiery furnace.
27:003:021 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.
27:003:022 Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the
furnace exceeding hot, the flames of the fire slew those men
that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
27:003:023 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
27:003:024 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.
27:003:025 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
27:003:026 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning
fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and
come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth
of the midst of the fire.
27:003:027 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's
counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon
whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their
head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell
of fire had passed on them.
