V.1 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 made 5648-57 an image 6755 of gold, 1722 whose height 7314 [was] threescore 8361 cubits, 521 [and] the breadth 6613 thereof six 8353 cubits: 521 he set it up 6966-85 in the plain 1236 of Dura, 1757 in the province 4083 of Babylon. 895

3:2 Then Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 sent 7972-57 to gather together 3673-58 the princes, 324 the governors, 5460 and the captains, 6347 the judges, 148 the treasurers, 1411 the counsellors, 1884 the sheriffs, 8614 and all 3606 the rulers 7984 of the provinces, 4083 to come 858-58 to the dedication 2597 of the image 6755 which Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 had set up. 6966-85

3:3 Then 116 the princes, 324 the governors, 5460 and captains, 6347 the judges, 148 the treasurers, 1411 the counsellors, 1884 the sheriffs, 8614 and all 3606 the rulers 7984 of the provinces, 4083 were gathered together 3673-76 unto the dedication 2597 of the image 6755 that Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 had set up; 6966-85 and they stood 6966-61 before 6903 the image 6755 that Nebuchadnezzar 5020 had set up. 6966-85

3:4 Then an herald 3744 cried 7123-62 aloud, 2429 To you it is commanded, 560-61 O people, 5972 nations, 524 and languages, 3961

3:5 [That] at what time 5732 ye hear 8086-60 the sound 7032 of the cornet, 7162 flute, 4953 harp, 7030|7030-k sackbut, 5443 psaltery, 6460 dulcimer, 5481 and all 3606 kinds 2178 of musick, 2170 ye fall down 5308-60 and worship 5457-60 the golden 1722 image 6755 that Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 hath set up: 6966-85

3:6 And whoso 4479 falleth not 3809 down 5308-60 and worshippeth 5457-60 shall the same hour 8160 be cast 7412-82 into the midst 1459 of a burning 3345-62 fiery 5135 furnace. 861

3:7 Therefore 3606 6903 1836 at that time, 2166 when 1768 all 3606 the people 5972 heard 8086-61 the sound 7032 of the cornet, 7162 flute, 4953 harp, 7030|7030-k sackbut, 5443 psaltery, 6460 and all 3606 kinds 2178 of musick, 2170 all 3606 the people, 5972 the nations, 524 and the languages, 3961 fell down 5308-61 [and] worshipped 5457-61 the golden 1722 image 6755 that Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 had set up. 6966-85

3:8 Wherefore 6903 3606 1836 at that time 2166 certain 1400 Chaldeans 3779 came near, 7127-57 and accused 7170 399-57 the Jews. 3062

3:9 They spake 6032-57 and said 560-61 to the king 4430 Nebuchadnezzar, 5020 O king, 4430 live 2418-59 for ever. 5957

3:10 Thou, 607 O king, 4430 hast made 7761-57 a decree, 2942 that every 3606 man 606 that shall hear 8086-60 the sound 7032 of the cornet, 7162 flute, 4953 harp, 7030|7030-k sackbut, 5443 psaltery, 6460 and dulcimer, 5481|5481-k and all 3606 kinds 2178 of musick, 2170 shall fall down 5308-60 and worship 5457-60 the golden 1722 image: 6755

3:11 And whoso 4479 falleth not 3809 down 5308-60 and worshippeth, 5457-60 [that] he should be cast 7412-82 into the midst 1459 of a burning 3345-62 fiery 5135 furnace. 861

3:12 There are 383 certain 1400 Jews 3062 whom 3487 thou hast set 4483-67 over 5922 the affairs 5673 of the province 4083 of Babylon, 895 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abednego; 5665 these 479 men, 1400 O king, 4430 have 7761-57 not 3809 regarded 2942 thee: 5922 they serve 6399-61 not 3809 thy gods, 426 nor 3809 worship 5457-61 the golden 1722 image 6755 which thou hast set up. 6966-85

3:13 Then 116 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 in [his] rage 7266 and fury 2528 commanded 560-57 to bring 858-86 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abednego. 5665 Then 116 they brought 858-90 these 479 men 1400 before 6925 the king. 4430

3:14 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 spake 6032-61 and said 560-61 unto them, [Is it] true, 6656 O Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abednego, 5665 do not 3809 ye 383 serve 6399-61 my gods, 426 nor 3809 worship 5457-61 the golden 1722 image 6755 which I have set up? 6966-85

3:15 Now 3705 if 2006 ye be 383 ready 6263 that at what time 5732 ye hear 8086-60 the sound 7032 of the cornet, 7162 flute, 4953 harp, 7030|7030-k sackbut, 5443 psaltery, 6460 and dulcimer, 5481 and all 3606 kinds 2178 of musick, 2170 ye fall down 5308-60 and worship 5457-60 the image 6755 which I have made; 5648-57 [well]: but if 2006 ye worship 5457-60 not, 3809 ye shall be cast 7412-82 the same hour 8160 into the midst 1459 of a burning 3345-62 fiery 5135 furnace; 861 and who 4479 [is] that God 426 that shall deliver 7804-129 you out of 4481 my hands? 3028

3:16 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abednego, 5665 answered 6032-57 and said 560-61 to the king, 4430 O Nebuchadnezzar, 5020 we 586 [are] not 3809 careful 2818-61 to answer 8421-86 thee in 5922 this 1836 matter. 6600

3:17 If 2006 it be [so], our God 426 whom we 586 serve 6399- 61 is 383 able 3202-61 to deliver 7804-128 us from 4481 the burning 3345-62 fiery 5135 furnace, 861 and he will deliver 7804-129 [us] out of 4481 thine hand, 3028 O king. 4430

3:18 But if 2006 not, 3809 be it 1934-60 known 3046-63 unto thee, O king, 4430 that we will 383 not 3809 serve 6399-61 thy gods, 426 nor 3809 worship 5457-60 the golden 1722 image 6755 which thou hast set up. 6966-85

3:19 Then 116 was Nebuchadnezzar 5020 full 4391-77 of fury, 2528 and the form 6755 of his visage 600 was changed 8133-73 against 5922 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abednego: 5665 [therefore] he spake, 6032-61 and commanded 560-61 that they should heat 228-58 the furnace 861 one 2298 seven times 7655 more 5922 than 1768 it was wont 2370-63 to be heated. 228-58

3:20 And he commanded 560-57 the most 2429 mighty 1401 men 1400 that [were] in his army 2429 to bind 3729-68 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abednego, 5665 [and] to cast 7412-58 [them] into the burning 3345-62 fiery 5135 furnace. 861

3:21 Then 116 these 479 men 1400 were bound 3729-65 in their coats, 5622 their hosen, 6361|6361-k and their hats, 3737 and their [other] garments, 3831 and were cast 7412-63 into the midst 1459 of the burning 3345-62 fiery 5135 furnace. 861

3:22 Therefore 3606 6903 1836 because 4481 the king's 4430 commandment 4406 was urgent, 2685-89 and the furnace 861 exceeding 3493 hot, 228-63 the flame 7631 of the fire 5135 slew 6992-67 those 479 men 1400 1994 that took up 5267-85 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abednego. 5665

3:23 And these 479 three 8532 men, 1400 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abednego, 5665 fell down 5308-57 bound 3729-71 into the midst 1459 of the burning 3345-62 fiery 5135 furnace. 861

3:24 Then 116 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 was astonied, 8429-57 and rose up 6966-57 in haste, 927-78 [and] spake, 6032-61 and said 560-61 unto his counsellors, 1907 Did not 3809 we cast 7412-57 three 8532 men 1400 bound 3729-71 into the midst 1459 of the fire? 5135 They answered 6032-61 and said 560-61 unto the king, 4430 True, 3330 O king. 4430

3:25 He answered 6032-61 and said, 560-61 Lo, 1888 I 576 see 2370-62 four 703 men 1400 loose, 8271-61 walking 1981-89 in the midst 1459 of the fire, 5135 and they have 383 no 3809 hurt; 2257 and the form 7299 of the fourth 7244 is like 1821- 62 the Son 1247 of God. 426

3:26 Then 116 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 came near 7127-57 to the mouth 8651 of the burning 3345-62 fiery 5135 furnace, 861 [and] spake, 6032-61 and said, 560-61 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abednego, 5665 ye servants 5649 of the most high 5943 God, 426 come forth, 5312-59 and come 858-59 [hither]. Then 116 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abednego, 5665 came forth 5312-61 of 4481 the midst 1459 of the fire. 5135

3:27 And the princes, 324 governors, 5460 and captains, 6347 and the king's 4430 counsellors, 1907 being gathered together, 3673-76 saw 2370-62 these 479 men, 1400 upon whose bodies 1655 the fire 5135 had no 3809 power, 7981-57 nor 3809 was an hair 8177 of their head 7217 singed, 2761-73 neither 3809 were their coats 5622 changed, 8133-57 nor 3809 the smell 7382 of fire 5135 had passed 5709-57 on them.

3:28 [Then] Nebuchadnezzar 5020 spake, 6032-61 and said, 560- 61 Blessed 1289-63 [be] the God 426 of Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abednego, 5665 who hath sent 7972-57 his angel, 4398 and delivered 7804-127 his servants 5649 that trusted 7365-125 in him, 5922 and have changed 8133-67 the king's 4430 word, 4406 and yielded 3052-57 their bodies, 1655 that they might not 3809 serve 6399-60 nor 3809 worship 5457- 60 any 3606 god, 426 except 3861 their own God. 426

3:29 Therefore I 4481 make 7761-63 a decree, 2942 That every 3606 people, 5972 nation, 524 and language, 3961 which speak 560-60 any thing amiss 7960|7955-k against 5922 the God 426 of Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abednego, 5665 shall be cut 5648-79 in pieces, 1917 and their houses 1005 shall be made 7739-75 a dunghill: 5122 because 6903 3606 there is 383 no 3809 other 321 God 426 that can 3202-60 deliver 5338-86 after this sort. 1836
