hear the

cornet,

*,

at that
time,

up.

at

live for
ever.

Thou, O
king, hast
made a
decree, that
every
man that shall
hear the
sound of the
cornet,
flute,

are
certain
Jews
whom thou hast
set
over the
affairs of the
province of
Babylon,
Shadrach,
Meshach, and
Abednego;
these
men, O
king,
have
not
regarded
thee: they
serve
not thy
gods,
nor
worship the
golden
image which thou hast set
up.
|
- 3:13
Then
Nebuchadnezzar in his
rage and
fury
commanded to
bring

Nebuchadnezzar
spake and
said unto them, Is it
true, O
Shadrach,
Meshach, and

not
ye
serve my
gods,
nor
worship the
golden
image which I have
set up?
|
- 3:15
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?
|
- 3:16
Shadrach,
Meshach, and
Abednego,
answered and
said to the
king, O
Nebuchadnezzar,
we are
not
careful to
answer thee
in
this
matter.
|
- 3:17
If it be so, our
God whom
we
serve
is
able to
deliver us
from the
burning
fiery
furnace,
and he will
deliver us out
of thine
hand, O
king.
|
- 3:18 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.
|

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.
|
- 3:20 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.
|
- 3:21
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.
|
- 3:22
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
Abednego.
|
- 3:23 And
these
three
men,
Shadrach,
Meshach, and

down
bound into the
midst of the
burning
fiery
furnace.

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.
|
- 3:25 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.
|
- 3:26
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.
|
- 3:27 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.
|
- 3:28 Then
Nebuchadnezzar
spake, and
said,
Blessed be the
God of
Shadrach,
Meshach, and
Abednego, who hath
sent his
angel, and
delivered his
servants that
trusted in
him, and have
changed the
king's
word, and
yielded their
bodies, that they might
not
serve
nor
worship
any
god,
except their own
God.
|
- 3:29 Therefore
I
make a
decree, That
every
people,
nation, and
language, which
speak any thing
amiss
*
against the
God of
Shadrach,
Meshach, and
Abednego, shall be
cut in
pieces, and their
houses shall be
made a
dunghill:
because
there
is
no
other
God that
can
deliver after
this sort.
|
- 3:30
Then the
king
promoted
Shadrach,
Meshach, and
Abednego, in the
province of
Babylon.
