Daniel 3:8-18

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>_,

psaltery
<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)_.
