1 H5020 Nebuchadnezzar H4430 the king H5648 made H6755 an image H1722 of gold, H1768 whose H7314 height H8361 was three score H521 cubits, H6613 and the breadth H8353 thereof six H521 cubits: H6966 he set H1236 it up in the plain H1757 of Dura, H4083 in the province H895 of Babylon.

2 H5020 Then Nebuchadnezzar H4430 the king H7972 sent H3673 to gather H324 together the princes, H5461 the governors, H6347 and the captains, H148 the judges, H1411 the treasurers, H1884 the counsellors, H8614 the sheriffs, H3606 and all H7984 the rulers H4082 of the provinces, H858 to come H2597 to the dedication H6755 of the image H1768 which H5020 Nebuchadnezzar H4430 the king H6966 had set up.

3 H116 Then H324 the princes, H5461 the governors, H6347 and captains, H148 the judges, H1411 the treasurers, H1884 the counsellors, H8614 the sheriffs, H3606 and all H7984 the rulers H4082 of the provinces, H3673 were gathered H2597 together to the dedication H6755 of the image H5020 that Nebuchadnezzar H4430 the king H6966 had set H6966 up; and they stood H6903 before H6755 the image H5020 that Nebuchadnezzar H6966 had set up.

4 H3744 Then an herald H7123 cried H2429 aloud, H560 To you it is commanded, H5972 O people, H524 nations, H3961 and languages,

5 H1768 That at what H5732 time H8086 you hear H7032 the sound H7162 of the cornet, H4953 flute, H7030 harp, H5443 sackbut, H6460 psaltery, H5481 dulcimer, H3606 and all H2177 kinds H2170 of music, H5308 you fall H5457 down and worship H1722 the golden H6755 image H5020 that Nebuchadnezzar H4430 the king H6966 has set up:

6 H4479 And whoever H1768 H5308 falls H5457 not down and worships H8160 shall the same hour H7412 be cast H1459 into the middle H3345 of a burning H5135 fiery H861 furnace.

7 H3606 Therefore H2166 at that time, H1768 when H3606 all H5972 the people H8086 heard H7032 the sound H7162 of the cornet, H4953 flute, H7030 harp, H5443 sackbut, H6460 psaltery, H3606 and all H2177 kinds H2170 of music, H3606 all H5972 the people, H524 the nations, H3961 and the languages, H5308 fell H5457 down and worshipped H1722 the golden H6755 image H5020 that Nebuchadnezzar H4430 the king H6966 had set up.

8 H3605 Why H2166 at that time H1400 certain H3779 Chaldeans H7127 came H7127 near, H399 and accused H7170 H3064 the Jews.

9 H6032 They spoke H560 and said H4430 to the king H5020 Nebuchadnezzar, H4430 O king, H2418 live H5957 for ever.

10 H4430 You, O king, H7761 have made H2942 a decree, H3606 that every H606 man H8086 that shall hear H7032 the sound H7162 of the cornet, H4953 flute, H7030 harp, H5443 sackbut, H6460 psaltery, H5481 and dulcimer, H3606 and all H2177 kinds H2170 of music, H5308 shall fall H5457 down and worship H1722 the golden H6755 image:

11 H4479 And whoever H1768 H5308 falls H5457 not down and worships, H7412 that he should be cast H1459 into the middle H3345 of a burning H5135 fiery H861 furnace.

12 H1400 There are certain H3064 Jews H3487 whom H4483 you have set H5921 over H5673 the affairs H4083 of the province H895 of Babylon, H7715 Shadrach, H4336 Meshach, H5665 and Abednego; H479 these H1400 men, H4430 O king, H7761 have not regarded H2942 H6399 you: they serve H426 not your gods, H3809 nor H5457 worship H1722 the golden H6755 image H1768 which H6966 you have set up.

13 H116 Then H5020 Nebuchadnezzar H7266 in his rage H2528 and fury H560 commanded H858 to bring H7715 Shadrach, H4336 Meshach, H5665 and Abednego. H116 Then H858 they brought H479 these H1400 men H6925 before H4430 the king.

14 H5020 Nebuchadnezzar H6032 spoke H560 and said H6656 to them, Is it true, H7715 O Shadrach, H4336 Meshach, H5665 and Abednego, H6399 do not you serve H426 my gods, H3809 nor H5457 worship H1722 the golden H6755 image H1768 which H6966 I have set up?

15 H3705 Now H2006 if H6263 you be ready H1768 that at what H5732 time H8086 you hear H7032 the sound H7162 of the cornet, H4953 flute, H7030 harp, H5443 sackbut, H6460 psaltery, H5481 and dulcimer, H3606 and all H2177 kinds H2170 of music, H5308 you fall H5457 down and worship H6755 the image H1768 which H5648 I have made; H2006 well: but if H5457 you worship H7412 not, you shall be cast H8160 the same hour H1459 into the middle H3345 of a burning H5135 fiery H861 furnace; H4479 and who H426 is that God H7804 that shall deliver H3028 you out of my hands?

16 H7715 Shadrach, H4336 Meshach, H5665 and Abednego, H6032 answered H560 and said H4430 to the king, H5020 O Nebuchadnezzar, H2818 we are not careful H8421 to answer H1836 you in this H6600 matter.

17 H2006 If H426 it be so, our God H1768 whom H6399 we serve H3202 is able H7804 to deliver H3345 us from the burning H5135 fiery H861 furnace, H7804 and he will deliver H3028 us out of your hand, H4430 O king.

18 H2006 But if H3046 not, be it known H4430 to you, O king, H6399 that we will not serve H426 your gods, H3809 nor H5457 worship H1722 the golden H6755 image H1768 which H6966 you have set up.

19 H116 Then H5020 was Nebuchadnezzar H4391 full H2528 of fury, H6755 and the form H600 of his visage H8133 was changed H5922 against H7715 Shadrach, H4336 Meshach, H5665 and Abednego: H6032 therefore he spoke, H560 and commanded H228 that they should heat H861 the furnace H2298 one H7655 seven H5922 times more H1768 than H2370 it was wont H228 to be heated.

20 H560 And he commanded H2429 the most H1401 mighty H1400 men H2429 that were in his army H3729 to bind H7715 Shadrach, H4336 Meshach, H5665 and Abednego, H7412 and to cast H3345 them into the burning H5135 fiery H861 furnace.

21 H116 Then H479 these H1400 men H3729 were bound H5622 in their coats, H6361 their hosen, H3737 and their hats, H3831 and their other garments, H7412 and were cast H1459 into the middle H3345 of the burning H5135 fiery H861 furnace.

22 H3606 Therefore H4481 because H1768 H4430 the king’s H4406 commandment H2685 was urgent, H861 and the furnace H3493 exceeding H228 hot, H7631 the flames H5135 of the fire H6992 slew H479 those H1400 men H5267 that took H7715 up Shadrach, H4336 Meshach, H5665 and Abednego.

23 H479 And these H8532 three H1400 men, H7715 Shadrach, H4336 Meshach, H5665 and Abednego, H5308 fell H3729 down bound H1459 into the middle H3345 of the burning H5135 fiery H861 furnace.

24 H116 Then H5020 Nebuchadnezzar H4430 the king H8429 was astonished, H6965 and rose H927 up in haste, H6032 and spoke, H560 and said H1907 to his counsellors, H7412 Did not we cast H8532 three H1400 men H3729 bound H1459 into the middle H5135 of the fire? H6032 They answered H560 and said H4430 to the king, H3330 True, H4430 O king.

25 H6032 He answered H560 and said, H1888 See, H2370 I see H703 four H1400 men H8271 loose, H1981 walking H1459 in the middle H5135 of the fire, H383 and they have H3809 no H2257 hurt; H7299 and the form H7244 of the fourth H1821 is like H1247 the Son H426 of God.

26 H116 Then H5020 Nebuchadnezzar H7127 came H7127 near H8651 to the mouth H3345 of the burning H5135 fiery H861 furnace, H6032 and spoke, H560 and said, H7715 Shadrach, H4336 Meshach, H5665 and Abednego, H5649 you servants H5943 of the most H5943 high H426 God, H5312 come H5312 forth, H858 and come H116 here. Then H7715 Shadrach, H4336 Meshach, H5665 and Abednego, H5312 came H5312 forth H1459 of the middle H5135 of the fire.

27 H324 And the princes, H5461 governors, H6347 and captains, H4430 and the king’s H1907 counsellors, H3673 being gathered H2370 together, saw H479 these H1400 men, H1768 on whose H1655 bodies H5135 the fire H3809 had no H7981 power, H3809 nor H8177 was an hair H7217 of their head H2761 singed, H3809 neither H5622 were their coats H8133 changed, H3809 nor H7382 the smell H5135 of fire H5709 had passed on them.

28 H5020 Then Nebuchadnezzar H6032 spoke, H560 and said, H1289 Blessed H426 be the God H7715 of Shadrach, H4336 Meshach, H5665 and Abednego, H1768 who H7972 has sent H4398 his angel, H7804 and delivered H5649 his servants H7365 that trusted H8133 in him, and have changed H4430 the king’s H4406 word, H3052 and yielded H1655 their bodies, H6399 that they might not serve H3809 nor H5457 worship H3606 any H426 god, H3861 except H426 their own God.

29 H7761 Therefore I make H2942 a decree, H3606 That every H5972 people, H524 nation, H3961 and language, H1768 which H560 speak H7955 any thing amiss H5922 against H426 the God H7715 of Shadrach, H4336 Meshach, H5665 and Abednego, H5648 shall be cut H1917 in pieces, H1005 and their houses H7739 shall be made H5122 a dunghill: H3606 because H3809 there is no H321 other H426 God H3202 that can H5338 deliver H1836 after H1836 this sort.

30 H116 Then H4430 the king H6744 promoted H7715 Shadrach, H4336 Meshach, H5665 and Abednego, H4082 in the province H895 of Babylon.
