So the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the rulers of the provinces assembled for the dedication of the statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up, and they stood before it.
Read word by wordThen the herald loudly proclaimed, “O people of every nation and language, this is what you are commanded:
Read word by wordAs soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
Read word by wordAnd whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into the blazing fiery furnace.”
Read word by wordTherefore, as soon as all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, and all kinds of music, the people of every nation and language would fall down and worship the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Read word by wordAt this time some astrologers came forward and maliciously accused the Jews,
Read word by wordsaying to King Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, may you live forever!
Read word by wordYou, O king, have issued a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music must fall down and worship the golden statue,
Read word by wordand that whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into the blazing fiery furnace.
Read word by wordBut there are some Jews you have appointed to manage the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—who have ignored you, O king, and have refused to serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.”
Read word by wordThen Nebuchadnezzar, furious with rage, summoned Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king,
Read word by wordand Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, is it true that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden statue I have set up?
Read word by wordNow when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the statue I have made, very good. But if you refuse to worship, you will be thrown at once into the blazing fiery furnace. Then what god will be able to deliver you from my hands?”
Read word by wordShadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
Read word by wordIf the God whom we serve exists, then He is able to deliver us from the blazing fiery furnace and from your hand, O king.
Read word by wordBut even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.”
Read word by wordAt this, Nebuchadnezzar was filled with rage, and the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He gave orders to heat the furnace seven times hotter than usual,
Read word by wordand he commanded some mighty men of valor in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and throw them into the blazing fiery furnace.
Read word by wordSo they were tied up, wearing robes, trousers, turbans, and other clothes, and they were thrown into the blazing fiery furnace.
Read word by wordThe king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the fiery flames killed the men who carried up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
Read word by wordAnd these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, firmly bound, fell into the blazing fiery furnace.
Read word by wordSuddenly King Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in amazement and asked his advisers, “Did we not throw three men, firmly bound, into the fire?” “Certainly, O king,” they replied.
Read word by word“Look!” he exclaimed. “I see four men, unbound and unharmed, walking around in the fire—and the fourth looks like a son of the gods!”
Read word by wordThen Nebuchadnezzar approached the door of the blazing fiery furnace and called out, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out!” So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire,
Read word by wordand when the satraps, prefects, governors, and royal advisers had gathered around, they saw that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men. Not a hair of their heads was singed, their robes were unaffected, and there was no smell of fire on them.
Read word by wordNebuchadnezzar declared, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him. They violated the king’s command and risked their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.
Read word by wordTherefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will be cut into pieces and their houses reduced to rubble. For there is no other god who can deliver in this way.”
Read word by wordThen the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
Read word by wordKing Nebuchadnezzar, To the people of every nation and language who dwell in all the earth: May your prosperity be multiplied.

For a time, Daniel, who was also known as Belteshazzar, was perplexed, and his thoughts alarmed him.
