DANIEL 3:1 King Nebuchadnezzar made a gold statue ninety feet tall and
nine feet wide and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.
2 Then he sent messages to the high officers, officials, governors,
advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the provincial officials to
come to the dedication of the statue he had set up. 3 So all these officials
came and stood before the statue King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.4
Then a herald shouted out, “People of all races and nations and
languages, listen to the king’s command! 5 When you hear the sound of
the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and other musical instruments,
bow to the ground to worship King Nebuchadnezzar’s gold statue. 6
Anyone who refuses to obey will immediately be thrown into a blazing
furnace.”7 So at the sound of the musical instruments, all the people,
whatever their race or nation or language, bowed to the ground and
worshiped the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.8 But
some of the astrologers went to the king and informed on the Jews. 9
They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “Long live the king! 10 You issued a
decree requiring all the people to bow down and worship the gold statue
when they hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and
other musical instruments. 11 That decree also states that those who
refuse to obey must be thrown into a blazing furnace. 12 But there are
some Jews—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—whom you have put
in charge of the province of Babylon. They pay no attention to you, Your
Majesty. They refuse to serve your gods and do not worship the gold
statue you have set up.”13 Then Nebuchadnezzar flew into a rage and
ordered that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought before him.
When they were brought in, 14 Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true,
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you refuse to serve my gods or
to worship the gold statue I have set up? 15 I will give you one more
chance to bow down and worship the statue I have made when you hear
the sound of the musical instruments. But if you refuse, you will be thrown
immediately into the blazing furnace. And then what god will be able to
rescue you from my power?”
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we
do not need to defend ourselves before you. 17 If we are thrown into the
blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue
us from your power, Your Majesty. 18 But even if he doesn’t, we want to
make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or
worship the gold statue you have set up.”
19 Nebuchadnezzar was so furious with Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego that his face became distorted with rage. He commanded that
the furnace be heated seven times hotter than usual. 20 Then he ordered
some of the strongest men of his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace. 21 So they tied them
up and threw them into the furnace, fully dressed in their pants, turbans,
robes, and other garments. 22 And because the king, in his anger, had
demanded such a hot fire in the furnace, the flames killed the soldiers as
they threw the three men in. 23 So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
securely tied, fell into the roaring flames. 24 But suddenly,
Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in amazement and exclaimed to his
advisers, “Didn’t we tie up three men and throw them into the furnace?”
“Yes, Your Majesty, we certainly did,” they replied.25 “Look!”
Nebuchadnezzar shouted. “I see four men, unbound, walking around in
the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god!”26 Then
Nebuchadnezzar came as close as he could to the door of the flaming
furnace and shouted: “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of
the Most High God, come out! Come here!”
So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stepped out of the fire. 27 Then
the high officers, officials, governors, and advisers crowded around them
and saw that the fire had not touched them. Not a hair on their heads was
singed, and their clothing was not scorched. They didn’t even smell of
smoke! 28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise to the God of Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angel to rescue his servants who
trusted in him. They defied the king’s command and were willing to die
rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. 29 Therefore,
I make this decree: If any people, whatever their race or nation or
language, speak a word against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego, they will be torn limb from limb, and their houses will be turned
into heaps of rubble. There is no other god who can rescue like this!”
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to even
higher positions in the province of Babylon.
