I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods!' 26 Then Nebuchadnezzar approached the opening of the blazing fiery furnace and called out, 'Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the Most High God, come out and come here!' So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego came out of the fire. 27 The satraps, prefects, governors, and the king’s officials gathered around and saw that the fire had had no effect on the bodies of these men.

The king said to Daniel, 'May your God, whom you continually serve, rescue you!' 18 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and the rings of his nobles, so that nothing could be changed in regard to Daniel. 19 Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night fasting. No diversions were brought to him, and he could not sleep. 20 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. 21 When he approached the den, he called out to Daniel with a distressed voice. The king said to Daniel, 'Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you continually serve, been able to rescue you from the lions?' 22 Then Daniel spoke to the king, 'O king, may you live forever! 23 My God sent His angel and shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him. Also, I have committed no offense against you, O king.' 24 At the king’s command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought and thrown into the lions' den, along with their wives and children. Before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones. 25 Then King Darius wrote to all the nations, peoples, and languages who live throughout the earth: 'May your prosperity abound! 26 I issue a decree that in all my royal dominion, people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. For He is the living God and He endures forever; His kingdom will never be destroyed, and His dominion will have no end. 27 He rescues and delivers; He performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth, for He rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.'
