19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was ^afilled with fury, and the expression of his face ^bwas changed against ^cShadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He ordered the furnace heated seven times more than it was usually heated. 20 And he ordered some of the mighty men of his army ^dto bind ^eShadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. 21 Then these men were ^fbound in their cloaks, their tunics, ^{▼▼The meaning of the Aramaic words rendered cloaks and tunics is uncertain; also verse 27} their hats, and their other garments, and they were thrown into the burning fiery furnace. 22 Because the king’s order was ^hurgent and the furnace overheated, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up ⁱShadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. 23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell ^jbound into the burning fiery furnace.

24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was ^kastonished and rose up ^lin haste. He declared to his ^mcounselors, “Did we not cast three men ⁿbound into the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.” 25 He answered and said, “But I see four men unbound, ^owalking in the midst of the fire, and they ^pare not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like ^qa son of the gods.”

26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace; he declared, ^r“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the ^sMost High God, come out, and come here!” Then ^tShadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out from the fire.
