23 and, these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego, fell down into the midst of the burning furnace of fire, fast bound.
24 Then, Nebuchadnezzar the king, was amazed, and rose up in haste: he spake and said to his nearest friends––Were there not three men, we cast into the midst of the fire, fast bound? They answered and said to the king, Surely, O king!
25 He answered and said, Lo! I, see four men, unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and, injury, there is not in them, and, the appearance of the fourth, is like to a son of the gods!
26 Then did Nebuchadnezzar, draw near, to the door of the burning furnace of fire, he spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego, ye servants of the most high God, step forth and come hither. Then stepped forth Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego, out of the midst of the fire.
27 And––being gathered together––the satraps, the nobles, and the pashas and near friends of the king, saw these men, over whose bodies the fire had, no power, nor was, a hair of their head, singed, neither were, their trousers, disfigured,––nor had, the smell of fire, come upon them.
28 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego, who hath sent his messenger, and delivered his servants, who trusted in him,––when, the word of the king, they transgressed, and delivered up their bodies, that they might not serve nor adore any god, saving their own God. 29 Therefore do I make a decree, that, whosoever of any people, race, or tongue it be that shall charge any error upon the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego, shall be cut in pieces, and, his house, into a dunghill, shall be changed; because there is no other God, who is able to deliver, like this! 30 Then, the king, advanced Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego, in the province of Babylon.
