They answered{H6032}{(H8750)} and said{H560}{(H8750)} unto the king{H4430}, True{H3330}, O king{H4430}. 25 He answered{H6032}{(H8750)} and said{H560}{(H8750)}, Lo{H1888}, I{H576} see{H2370}{(H8751)} four{H703} men{H1400} loose{H8271}{(H8750)}, walking{H1981}{(H8683)} in the midst{H1459} of the fire{H5135}, and they have{H383} no{H3809} hurt{H2257}; and the form{H7299} of the fourth{H7244} is like{H1821}{(H8751)} the Son{H1247} of God{H426}. 26 Then{H116} Nebuchadnezzar{H5020} came near{H7127}{(H8754)} to the mouth{H8651} of the burning{H3345}{(H8751)} fiery{H5135} furnace{H861}, and spake{H6032}{(H8750)}, and said{H560}{(H8750)}, Shadrach{H7715}, Meshach{H4336}, and Abednego{H5665}, ye servants{H5649} of the most high{H5943} God{H426}, come forth{H5312}{(H8747)}, and come{H858}{(H8747)} hither. Then{H116} Shadrach{H7715}, Meshach{H4336}, and Abednego{H5665}, came forth{H5312}{(H8750)} of{H4481} the midst{H1459} of the fire{H5135}. 27 And the princes{H324}, governors{H5460}, and captains{H6347}, and the king's{H4430} counsellors{H1907}, being gathered together{H3673}{(H8723)}, saw{H2370}{(H8751)} these{H479} men{H1400}, upon whose bodies{H1655} the fire{H5135} had no{H3809} power{H7981}{(H8754)}, nor{H3809} was an hair{H8177} of their head{H7217} singed{H2761}{(H8724)}, neither{H3809} were their coats{H5622} changed{H8133}{(H8754)}, nor{H3809} the smell{H7382} of fire{H5135} had passed{H5709}{(H8754)} on them. 28 Then Nebuchadnezzar{H5020} spake{H6032}{(H8750)}, and said{H560}{(H8750)}, Blessed{H1289}{(H8752)} be the God{H426} of Shadrach{H7715}, Meshach{H4336}, and Abednego{H5665}, who hath sent{H7972}{(H8754)} his angel{H4398}, and delivered{H7804}{(H8758)} his servants{H5649} that trusted{H7365}{(H8702)} in him{H5922}, and have changed{H8133}{(H8745)} the king's{H4430} word{H4406}, and yielded{H3052}{(H8754)} their bodies{H1655}, that they might not{H3809} serve{H6399}{(H8748)} nor{H3809} worship{H5457}{(H8748)} any{H3606} god{H426}, except{H3861} their own God{H426}. 29 Therefore I{H4481} make{H7761}{(H8752)} a decree{H2942}, That every{H3606} people{H5972}, nation{H524}, and language{H3961}, which speak{H560}{(H8748)} any thing amiss{H7960}{(H8675)}{H7955} against{H5922} the God{H426} of Shadrach{H7715}, Meshach{H4336}, and Abednego{H5665}, shall be cut{H5648}{(H8725)} in pieces{H1917}, and their houses{H1005} shall be made{H7739}{(H8721)} a dunghill{H5122}: because{H6903}{H3606} there is{H383} no{H3809} other{H321} God{H426} that can{H3202}{(H8748)} deliver{H5338}{(H8682)} after this{H1836} sort. 30 Then{H116} the king{H4430} promoted{H6744}{(H8684)} Shadrach{H7715}, Meshach{H4336}, and Abednego{H5665}, in the province{H4083} of Babylon{H895}.
