Daniel 3:22

3:22 But since the king’s command was so urgent, and the furnace was so excessively hot, the men who escorted ¹  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were killed ²  by the leaping flames. ³ 

Daniel 5:19

5:19 Due to the greatness that he bestowed on him, all peoples, nations, and language groups were trembling with fear ⁴  before him. He killed whom he wished, he spared ⁵  whom he wished, he exalted whom he wished, and he brought low whom he wished.

¹ tn Aram “caused to go up.”

² tn The Aramaic verb is active.

³ tn Aram “the flame of the fire” (so KJV, ASV, NASB); NRSV “the raging flames.”

⁴ tn Aram “were trembling and fearing.” This can be treated as a hendiadys, “were trembling with fear.”

⁵ tn Aram “let live.” This Aramaic form is the aphel participle of חַיָה(khayah, “to live”). Theodotion and the Vulgate mistakenly take the form to be from מְחָא (mÿkha’, “to smite”).
