<p class="bodytext">When the king heard this,<n id="1" /> he was very upset and began thinking about<n id="2" /> how he might rescue Daniel. Until late afternoon<n id="3" /> he was struggling to find a way to rescue him.

I hereby decree<n id="1" /> that any people, nation, or language group that blasphemes<n id="2" /> the god of Shadrach, Meshach, or Abednego will be dismembered and his home reduced to rubble! For there exists no other god who can deliver in this way.&#8221;
