3:4

Then an herald
<03744>

cried
<07123> (8751)

aloud
<02429>_,

To you it is commanded
<0560> (8750)_,

O people
<05972>_,

nations
<0524>_,

and languages
<03961>_,

{aloud: Chaldee, with might} {it...: Chaldee, they command}

3:5

[That] at what time
<05732>

ye hear

the sound

ye fall down
<05308> (8748)

and worship
<05457> (8748)

the golden
<01722>

image
<06755>

that Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>

the king
<04430>

hath set up
<06966> (8684)_:

{dulcimer: or, singing: Chaldee, symphony}

3:6

And whoso
<04479>

falleth
<05308> (0)

not
<03809>

down
<05308> (8748)

and worshippeth
<05457> (8748)

shall the same hour

be cast

into the midst
<01459>

of a burning
<03345> (8751)

fiery
<05135>

furnace
<0861>_.

3:7

Therefore
<06903> <01836>

at that time
<02166>_,

when
<01768>

all
<03606>

the people
<05972>

heard
<08086> (8750)

the sound
<07032>

<02170>_,

all
<03606>

the people
<05972>_,

the nations
<0524>_,

and the languages
<03961>_,

fell down
<05308> (8750)

[and] worshipped
<05457> (8750)

the golden
<01722>

image
<06755>

that Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>

the king
<04430>

had set up
<06966> (8684)_.

3:8

Wherefore
<06903> <03606>

at that
<01836>

time
<02166>

certain
<01400>

Chaldeans
<03779>

came near
<07127> (8754)_,

and accused
<07170> <0399> (8754)

the Jews
<03062>_.

3:9

They spake
<06032> (8754)

and said
<0560> (8750)

to the king
<04430>

Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>_,

O king
<04430>_,

live
<02418> (8747)

for ever
<05957>_.

3:10

Thou
<0607>_,

O king
<04430>_,

hast made
<07761> (8754)

a decree
<02942>_,

that every
<03606>

man
<0606>

that shall hear
<08086> (8748)

the sound
<07032>

of the cornet
<07162>_,

flute
<04953>_,

harp
<07030> (8675) <07030>_,

sackbut
<05443>_,

<06460>_,

and dulcimer
<05481> (8675) <05481>_,

and all
<03606>

kinds
<02178>

of musick
<02170>_,

shall fall down
<05308> (8748)

and worship
<05457> (8748)

the golden
<01722>

image
<06755>_:

{dulcimer: or, singing: Chaldee, symphony}

3:11

And whoso
<04479>

falleth
<05308> (0)

not
<03809>

down
<05308> (8748)

and worshippeth
<05457> (8748)_,

[that] he should be cast
<07412> (8729)

into the midst
<01459>

of a burning
<03345> (8751)

fiery
<05135>

furnace
<0861>_.

3:12

There are
<0383>

certain
<01400>

Jews
<03062>

whom
<03487>

thou hast set
<04483> (8745)

over
<05922>

the affairs
<05673>

of the province
<04083>

of Babylon
<0895>_,

Shadrach
<07715>_,

Meshach
<04336>_,

and Abednego
<05665>_;

these
<0479>

men
<01400>_,

O king
<04430>_,

have
<07761> (8754)

not
<03809>

regarded
<02942>

thee
<05922>_:

they serve
<06399> (8750)

not
<03809>

thy gods
<0426>_,

nor
<03809>

worship
<05457> (8750)

the golden
<01722>

image
<06755>

which thou hast set up
<06966> (8684)_.

{have...: Chaldee, have set no regard upon thee}

3:13

Then
<0116>

Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>

in [his] rage
<07266>

and fury
<02528>

commanded
<0560> (8754)

to bring
<0858> (8682)

Shadrach
<07715>_,

Meshach
<04336>_,

and Abednego
<05665>_.

Then
<0116>

they brought
<0858> (8717)

these
<0479>

men
<01400>

before
<06925>

the king
<04430>_.

3:14

Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>

spake
<06032> (8750)

and said
<0560> (8750)

unto them, [Is it] true
<06656>_,

O Shadrach
<07715>_,

Meshach
<04336>_,

and Abednego
<05665>_,

do not
<03809>

ye
<0383>

serve
<06399> (8750)

my gods
<0426>_,

nor
<03809>

worship
<05457> (8750)

the golden
<01722>

image
<06755>

which I have set
<06966> (8684)

up? {true: or, of purpose}

3:15

Now
<03705>

if
<02006>

ye be
<0383>

ready
<06263>

that at what time
<05732>

ye hear
<08086> (8748)

the sound
<07032>

of the cornet
<07162>_,

flute
<04953>_,

harp
<07030> (8675) <07030>_,

sackbut
<05443>_,

psaltery
<06460>_,

and dulcimer
<05481>_,

and all
<03606>

kinds
<02178>

of musick
<02170>_,

ye fall down
<05308> (8748)

and worship
<05457> (8748)

the image
<06755>

which I have made
<05648> (8754)_;

[well]: but if
<02006>

ye worship
<05457> (8748)

not
<03809>_,

ye shall be cast
<07412> (8729)

the same hour
<08160>

into the midst
<01459>

of a burning
<03345> (8751)

fiery
<05135>

furnace
<0861>_;

and who
<04479>

[is] that God
<0426>

that shall deliver
<07804> (8755)

you out of
<04481>

my hands
<03028>_?

{dulcimer: or, singing: Chaldee, symphony}

3:16

Shadrach
<07715>_,

Meshach
<04336>_,

and Abednego
<05665>_,

answered
<06032> (8754)

and said
<0560> (8750)

to the king
<04430>_,

O Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>_,

we
<0586>

[are] not
<03809>

careful
<02818> (8750)

to answer
<08421> (8682)

thee in
<05922>

this
<01836>

matter
<06600>_.

3:17

If
<02006>

it be [so], our God
<0426>

whom we
<0586>

serve
<06399> (8750)

is
<0383>

able
<03202> (8750)

to deliver
<07804> (8756)

us from
<04481>

the burning
<03345> (8751)

fiery
<05135>

furnace
<0861>_,

and
<04481> (0)

he will deliver
<07804> (8755)

[us] out of
<04481>

thine hand
<03028>_,

O king
<04430>_.

3:18

But if
<02006>

not
<03809>_,

be it
<01934> (8748)

known
<03046> (8752)

unto thee, O king
<04430>_,

that we will
<0383>

not
<03809>

serve
<06399> (8750)

thy gods
<0426>_,

nor
<03809>

worship
<05457> (8748)

the golden
<01722>

image
<06755>

which thou hast set up
<06966> (8684)_.

3:19

Then
<0116>

was Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>

full
<04391> (8728)

of fury
<02528>_,

and the form
<06755>

of his visage
<0600>

was changed
<08133> (8724)

against
<05922>

Shadrach
<07715>_,

Meshach
<04336>_,

and Abednego
<05665>_:

[therefore] he spake
<06032> (8750)_,

and commanded
<0560> (8750)

that they should heat
<0228> (8749)

the furnace
<0861>

one
<02298>

seven times
<07655>

more
<05922>

than
<01768>

it was wont
<02370> (8752)

to be heated
<0228> (8749)_.

{full: Chaldee, filled}

3:20

And he commanded
<0560> (8754)

the most
<02429>

mighty
<01401>

men
<01400>

that [were] in his army
<02429>

to bind
<03729> (8742)

Shadrach
<07715>_,

Meshach
<04336>_,

and Abednego
<05665>_,

[and] to cast
<07412> (8749)

[them] into the burning
<03345> (8751)

fiery
<05135>

furnace
<0861>_.

{most...: Chaldee, mighty of strength}

3:21

Then
<0116>

these
<0479>

men
<01400>

were bound
<03729> (8760)

in their coats
<05622>_,

their hosen
<06361> (8675) <06361>_,

and their hats
<03737>_,

and their [other] garments
<03831>_,

and were cast
<07412> (8752)

into the midst
<01459>

of the burning
<03345> (8751)

fiery
<05135>

furnace
<0861>_.

{coats: or, mantles} {hats: or, turbans}

3:22

Therefore
<03606> <06903>

because
<04481> <01836>

the king's
<04430>

commandment
<04406>

was urgent
<02685> (8683)_,

and the furnace
<0861>

exceeding
<03493>

hot
<0228> (8752)_,

the flame
<07631>

of the fire
<05135>

slew
<06992> (8745)

those
<0479>

men
<01400> <01994>

that took up
<05267> (8684)

Shadrach
<07715>_,

Meshach
<04336>_,

and Abednego
<05665>_.

{commandment: Chaldee, word} {flame: or, spark}

3:23

And these
<0479>

three
<08532>

men
<01400>_,

Shadrach
<07715>_,

Meshach
<04336>_,

and Abednego
<05665>_,

fell down
<05308> (8754)

bound
<03729> (8743)

into the midst
<01459>

of the burning
<03345> (8751)

fiery
<05135>

furnace
<0861>_.

3:24

Then
<0116>

Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>

the king
<04430>

was astonied
<08429> (8754)_,

and rose up
<06966> (8754)

in haste
<0927> (8726)_,

[and] spake
<06032> (8750)_,

and said
<0560> (8750)

unto his counsellors
<01907>_,

Did not
<03809>

we cast
<07412> (8754)

three
<08532>

men
<01400>

bound
<03729> (8743)

into the midst
<01459>

of the fire
<05135>_?

They answered
<06032> (8750)

and said
<0560> (8750)

unto the king
<04430>_,

True
<03330>_,

O king
<04430>_.

{counsellors: or, governors}

3:25

He answered
<06032> (8750)

and said
<0560> (8750)_,

Lo
<01888>_,

I
<0576>

see
<02370> (8751)

four
<0703>

men
<01400>

loose
<08271> (8750)_,

walking
<01981> (8683)

in the midst
<01459>

of the fire
<05135>_,

and they have
<0383>

no
<03809>

hurt
<02257>_;

and the form
<07299>

of the fourth
<07244>

is like
<01821> (8751)

the Son
<01247>

of God
<0426>_.

{they...: Chaldee, there is no hurt in them}

3:26

Then
<0116>

Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>

came near
<07127> (8754)

to the mouth
<08651>

of the burning
<03345> (8751)

fiery
<05135>

furnace
<0861>_,

[and] spake
<06032> (8750)_,

and said
<0560> (8750)_,

Shadrach
<07715>_,

Meshach
<04336>_,

and Abednego
<05665>_,

ye servants
<05649>

of the most high
<05943>

God
<0426>_,

come forth
<05312> (8747)_,

and come
<0858> (8747)

[hither]. Then
<0116>

Shadrach
<07715>_,

Meshach
<04336>_,

and Abednego
<05665>_,

came forth
<05312> (8750)

of
<04481>

the midst
<01459>

of the fire
<05135>_.

{mouth: Chaldee, door}

3:27

And the princes
<0324>_,

governors
<05460>_,

and captains
<06347>_,

and the king's
<04430>

counsellors
<01907>_,

being gathered together
<03673> (8723)_,

saw
<02370> (8751)

these
<0479>

men
<01400>_,

upon whose bodies
<01655>

the fire
<05135>

had no
<03809>

power
<07981> (8754)_,

nor
<03809>

was an hair
<08177>

of their head
<07217>

singed
<02761> (8724)_,

neither
<03809>

were their coats
<05622>

changed
<08133> (8754)_,

nor
<03809>

the smell
<07382>

of fire
<05135>

had passed
<05709> (8754)

on them.

3:28

[Then] Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>

spake
<06032> (8750)_,

and said
<0560> (8750)_,

Blessed
<01289> (8752)

[be] the God
<0426>

of Shadrach
<07715>_,

Meshach
<04336>_,

and Abednego
<05665>_,

who hath sent
<07972> (8754)

his angel
<04398>_,

and delivered
<07804> (8758)

his servants
<05649>

that trusted
<07365> (8702)

in him
<05922>_,

and have changed
<08133> (8745)

the king's
<04430>

word
<04406>_,

and yielded
<03052> (8754)

their bodies
<01655>_,

that they might not
<03809>

serve
<06399> (8748)

nor
<03809>

worship
<05457> (8748)

any
<03606>

god
<0426>_,

except
<03861>

their own God
<0426>_.
