Daniel 3

1 Nebuchadnezzar dedicateth a golden image in Dura. 8 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego are accused for not worshipping the image. 13 They, being threatened, make a good confession. 19 God delivereth them out of the furnace. 26 Nebuchadnezzar seeing the miracle blesseth God.

 3:1 ¶ Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 made 5648 z8754 an image 6755 of x1768 gold, 1722 whose height 7314 [was] threescore 8361 cubits, 521 [and] the breadth 6613 thereof six 8353 cubits: 521 he set it up 6966 z8684 in the plain 1236 of Dura, 1757 in the province 4083 of Babylon. 895

 3:2 Then Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 sent 7972 z8754 to gather together 3673 z8749 the princes, 324 the governors, 5460 and the captains, 6347 the judges, 148 the treasurers, 1411 the counselors, 1884 the sheriffs, 8614 and all 3606 the rulers 7984 of the provinces, 4083 to come 858 z8749 to the dedication 2597 of the image 6755 which x1768 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 had set up. 6966 z8684

 3:3 Then 116 the princes, 324 the governors, 5460 and captains, 6347 the judges, 148 the treasurers, 1411 the counselors, 1884 the sheriffs, 8614 and all 3606 the rulers 7984 of the provinces, 4083 were gathered together 3673 z8723 unto the dedication 2597 of the image 6755 that x1768 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 had set up; 6966 z8684 and they stood 6966 z8750 before 6903 the image 6755 that x1768 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 had set up. 6966 z8684

 3:4 Then a herald 3744 cried 7123 z8751 aloud, 2429 To you it is commanded, 560 z8750 O people, 5972 nations, 524 and languages, 3961

 3:5 [That] at what x1768 time 5732 ye hear 8086 z8748 the sound 7032 of the cornet, 7162 flute, 4953 harp, 7030 z8675 sackbut, 5443 psaltery, 6460 dulcimer, 5481 and all 3606 kinds 2178 of music, 2170 ye fall down 5308 z8748 and worship 5457 z8748 the golden 1722 image 6755 that x1768 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 hath set up: 6966 z8684

 3:6 And whoso 4479 x1768 falleth y5308 z0 not y3809 down 5308 z8748 x3809 and worshipeth 5457 z8748 shall the same hour 8160 be cast 7412 z8729 into the midst 1459 of a burning 3345 z8751 fiery 5135 furnace. 861

 3:7 Therefore 6903 1836 x3606 at that time, 2166 when 1768 all 3606 the people 5972 heard 8086 z8750 the sound 7032 of the cornet, 7162 flute, 4953 harp, 7030 z8675 sackbut, 5443 psaltery, 6460 and all 3606 kinds 2178 of music, 2170 all 3606 the people, 5972 the nations, 524 and the languages, 3961 fell down 5308 z8750 [and] worshiped 5457 z8750 the golden 1722 image 6755 that x1768 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 had set up. 6966 z8684

 3:8 ¶ Wherefore 6903 3606 x1836 at that y1836 time 2166 certain 1400 Chaldeans 3779 came near, 7127 z8754 and accused 7170 399 z8754 the Jews. 3062 x1768

 3:9 They spoke 6032 z8754 and said 560 z8750 to the king 4430 Nebuchadnezzar, 5020 O king, 4430 live 2418 z8747 forever. 5957

 3:10 Thou, 607 O king, 4430 hast made 7761 z8754 a decree, 2942 that x1768 every 3606 man 606 that x1768 shall hear 8086 z8748 the sound 7032 of the cornet, 7162 flute, 4953 harp, 7030 z8675 sackbut, 5443 psaltery, 6460 and dulcimer, 5481 z8675 and all 3606 kinds 2178 of music, 2170 shall fall down 5308 z8748 and worship 5457 z8748 the golden 1722 image: 6755

 3:11 And whoso 4479 x1768 falleth y5308 z0 not y3809 down 5308 z8748 x3809 and worshipeth, 5457 z8748 [that] he should be cast 7412 z8729 into the midst 1459 of a burning 3345 z8751 fiery 5135 furnace. 861

 3:12 There are 383 certain 1400 Jews 3062 whom y3487 x1768 thou hast set 4483 z8745 over 5922 the affairs 5673 of the province 4083 of Babylon, 895 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abed-nego; 5665 these 479 men, 1400 O king, 4430 have y7761 z8754 not 3809 regarded 2942 x7761 x5922 thee: y5922 they serve 6399 z8750 not 3809 thy gods, 426 nor 3809 worship 5457 z8750 the golden 1722 image 6755 which x1768 thou hast set up. 6966 z8684

 3:13 ¶ Then 116 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 in [his] rage 7266 and fury 2528 commanded 560 z8754 to bring 858 z8682 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abed-nego. 5665 Then 116 they brought 858 z8717 these 479 men 1400 before 6925 the king. 4430

 3:14 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 spoke 6032 z8750 and said 560 z8750 unto them, [Is it] true, 6656 O Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abed-nego, 5665 do x383 not 3809 ye y383 serve 6399 z8750 my gods, 426 nor 3809 worship 5457 z8750 the golden 1722 image 6755 which x1768 I have set y6966 z8684 up? x6966

 3:15 Now 3705 if 2006 ye be 383 ready 6263 that x1768 at what x1768 time 5732 ye hear 8086 z8748 the sound 7032 of the cornet, 7162 flute, 4953 harp, 7030 z8675 sackbut, 5443 psaltery, 6460 and dulcimer, 5481 and all 3606 kinds 2178 of music, 2170 ye fall down 5308 z8748 and worship 5457 z8748 the image 6755 which x1768 I have made; 5648 z8754 [well]: but if 2006 ye worship 5457 z8748 not, 3809 ye shall be cast 7412 z8729 the same hour 8160 into the midst 1459 of a burning 3345 z8751 fiery 5135 furnace; 861 and who 4479 [is] that x1932 God 426 that x1768 shall deliver 7804 z8755 you out of 4481 my hands? 3028

 3:16 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abed-nego, 5665 answered 6032 z8754 and said 560 z8750 to the king, 4430 O Nebuchadnezzar, 5020 we 586 [are] not 3809 careful 2818 z8750 to answer 8421 z8682 thee in 5922 this 1836 matter. 6600

 3:17 If 2006 it be x383 [so], our God 426 whom x1768 we 586 serve 6399 z8750 is y383 able 3202 z8750 to deliver 7804 z8756 us from 4481 the burning 3345 z8751 fiery 5135 furnace, 861 and y4481 z0 he will deliver 7804 z8755 [us] out of 4481 thine hand, 3028 O king. 4430

 3:18 But if 2006 not, 3809 be x1934 it y1934 z8748 known 3046 z8752 unto thee, O king, 4430 that x1768 we will 383 not 3809 serve 6399 z8750 thy gods, 426 nor 3809 worship 5457 z8748 the golden 1722 image 6755 which x1768 thou hast set up. 6966 z8684

 3:19 ¶ Then 116 was Nebuchadnezzar 5020 full 4391 z8728 of fury, 2528 and the form 6755 of his visage 600 was changed 8133 z8724 against 5922 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abed-nego: 5665 [therefore] he spoke, 6032 z8750 and commanded 560 z8750 that they should heat 228 z8749 the furnace 861 one 2298 seven times 7655 more 5922 than 1768 it was wont 2370 z8752 to be heated. 228 z8749

 3:20 And he commanded 560 z8754 the most y2429 mighty 1401 x2429 men 1400 that x1768 [were] in his army 2429 to bind 3729 z8742 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abed-nego, 5665 [and] to cast 7412 z8749 [them] into the burning 3345 z8751 fiery 5135 furnace. 861

 3:21 Then 116 these 479 men 1400 were bound 3729 z8760 in their coats, 5622 their hosen, 6361 z8675 and their hats, 3737 and their [other] garments, 3831 and were cast 7412 z8752 into the midst 1459 of the burning 3345 z8751 fiery 5135 furnace. 861

 3:22 Therefore 3606 6903 x1836 because 4481 y1836 x1768 the king's 4430 commandment 4406 was urgent, 2685 z8683 and the furnace 861 exceeding y3493 x2493 hot, 228 z8752 the flame 7631 of x1768 the fire 5135 slew 6992 z8745 those 479 men 1400 y1994 that x1768 took up 5267 z8684 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abed-nego. 5665

 3:23 And these 479 three 8532 men, 1400 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abed-nego, 5665 fell down 5308 z8754 bound 3729 z8743 into the midst 1459 of the burning 3345 z8751 fiery 5135 furnace. 861

 3:24 Then 116 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 was astonished, 8429 z8754 and rose up 6966 z8754 in haste, 927 z8726 [and] spoke, 6032 z8750 and said 560 z8750 unto his counselors, 1907 Did not 3809 we cast 7412 z8754 three 8532 men 1400 bound 3729 z8743 into the midst 1459 of the fire? 5135 They answered 6032 z8750 and said 560 z8750 unto the king, 4430 True, 3330 O king. 4430

 3:25 He answered 6032 z8750 and said, 560 z8750 Lo, 1888 I 576 see 2370 z8751 four 703 men 1400 loose, 8271 z8750 walking 1981 z8683 in the midst 1459 of the fire, 5135 and they have 383 no 3809 hurt; 2257 and the form 7299 of x1768 the fourth 7244 is like 1821 z8751 the Son 1247 of God. 426

 3:26 ¶ Then 116 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 came near 7127 z8754 to the mouth 8651 of the burning 3345 z8751 fiery 5135 furnace, 861 [and] spoke, 6032 z8750 and said, 560 z8750 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abed-nego, 5665 ye servants 5649 of x1768 the most high 5943 God, 426 come forth, 5312 z8747 and come 858 z8747 [hither]. Then 116 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abed-nego, 5665 came forth 5312 z8750 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 counselors, 1907 being gathered together, 3673 z8723 saw 2370 z8751 these 479 men, 1400 upon whose x1768 bodies 1655 the fire 5135 had no y3809 power, 7981 z8754 x3809 nor 3809 was a hair 8177 of their head 7217 singed, 2761 z8724 neither 3809 were their coats 5622 changed, 8133 z8754 nor 3809 the smell 7382 of fire 5135 had passed 5709 z8754 on them.

 3:28 [Then] Nebuchadnezzar 5020 spoke, 6032 z8750 and said, 560 z8750 Blessed 1289 z8752 [be] the God 426 of x1768 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abed-nego, 5665 who x1768 hath sent 7972 z8754 his angel, 4398 and delivered 7804 z8758 his servants 5649 that x1768 trusted 7365 z8702 in x5922 him, y5922 and have changed 8133 z8745 the king's 4430 word, 4406 and yielded 3052 z8754 their bodies, 1655 that x1768 they might not 3809 serve 6399 z8748 nor 3809 worship 5457 z8748 any 3606 god, 426 except 3861 their own God. 426

 3:29 Therefore I y4481 make 7761 z8752 x4481 a decree, 2942 That x1768 every 3606 people, 5972 nation, 524 and language, 3961 which x1768 speak 560 z8748 any thing amiss 7955 y7960 z8675 against 5922 the God 426 of x1768 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abed-nego, 5665 shall be cut 5648 z8725 in pieces, 1917 and their houses 1005 shall be made 7739 z8721 a dunghill: 5122 because 6903 3606 x1768 there is 383 no 3809 other 321 God 426 that x1768 can 3202 z8748 deliver 5338 z8682 after this y1836 sort. x1836

 3:30 Then 116 the king 4430 promoted 6744 z8684 Shadrach, 7715 Meshach, 4336 and Abed-nego, 5665 in the province 4083 of Babylon. 895
