    1King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, its height sixty cubits and its width six cubits; he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.

    2Then King Nebuchadnezzar sent to gather the princes, the governors, the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

    3Then the princes, the governors, the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces gathered to the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

    4Then a herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,

    5That at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, you shall fall down and worship the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.

    6And whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

    7Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshiped the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

    8At that time certain Chaldeans came forward and accused the Jews.

    9They spoke and said to King Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live forever.

    10You, O king, have made a decree that every man who hears the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image.

    11And whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

    12There are certain Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded you: they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up.

    13Then Nebuchadnezzar, in rage and fury, commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. So they brought these men before the king.

    15Now if you are ready when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image which I have made, well; but if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God who shall deliver you out of my hands?

    16Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves in this matter.

    17If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.

    18But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the golden image which you have set up.

    19Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the expression on his face changed towards Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; he spoke and commanded that they heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.

    20And he commanded the most mighty men in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

    21Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

    22Therefore, because the king's command was urgent and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

    23And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

    24Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished, and rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, O king.

    25He answered and said, Look, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

    26Then Nebuchadnezzar went near the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spoke, saying, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out from the midst of the fire.

    27And the princes, governors, captains, and the king's counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed, nor were their coats changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.

    28Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God.

    29Therefore I make a decree, that any people, nation, or language which speaks anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made an ash heap, because there is no other God who can deliver in this way.

    30Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
