1 Nebuchadnezzar|strong="H5020" the|strong="H5020" king|strong="H4430" made|strong="H5648" an|strong="H5648" image|strong="H6755" of|strong="H4430" gold|strong="H1722", whose|strong="H1768" height|strong="H7314" was|strong="H4430" threescore|strong="H8361" cubits, and|strong="H4430" the|strong="H5020" breadth|strong="H6613" thereof|strong="H7314" six|strong="H8353" cubits: he|strong="H1768" set|strong="H6966" it up|strong="H6966" in|strong="H4430" the|strong="H5020" plain|strong="H1236" of|strong="H4430" Dura|strong="H1757", in|strong="H4430" the|strong="H5020" province|strong="H4083" of|strong="H4430" Babylon.
2 Then|strong="H1768" Nebuchadnezzar|strong="H5020" the|strong="H3606" king|strong="H4430" sent|strong="H7972" to|strong="H4430" gather together|strong="H3673" the|strong="H3606" satraps, the|strong="H3606" deputies, and|strong="H4430" the|strong="H3606" governors|strong="H6347", the|strong="H3606" judges|strong="H1884", the|strong="H3606" treasurers|strong="H1411", the|strong="H3606" counselors, the|strong="H3606" sheriffs|strong="H8614", and|strong="H4430" all|strong="H3606" the|strong="H3606" rulers|strong="H7984" of|strong="H4430" the|strong="H3606" provinces|strong="H4083", to|strong="H4430" come to|strong="H4430" the|strong="H3606" dedication|strong="H2597" of|strong="H4430" the|strong="H3606" image|strong="H6755" which|strong="H1768" Nebuchadnezzar|strong="H5020" the|strong="H3606" king|strong="H4430" had|strong="H4430" set|strong="H6966" up|strong="H6966".
3 Then|strong="H6903" the|strong="H3606" satraps, the|strong="H3606" deputies, and|strong="H4430" the|strong="H3606" governors|strong="H6347", the|strong="H3606" judges|strong="H1884", the|strong="H3606" treasurers|strong="H1411", the|strong="H3606" counselors, the|strong="H3606" sheriffs|strong="H8614", and|strong="H4430" all|strong="H3606" the|strong="H3606" rulers|strong="H7984" of|strong="H4430" the|strong="H3606" provinces|strong="H4083", were|strong="H1768" gathered|strong="H3673" together|strong="H3673" unto the|strong="H3606" dedication|strong="H2597" of|strong="H4430" the|strong="H3606" image|strong="H6755" that|strong="H1768" Nebuchadnezzar|strong="H5020" the|strong="H3606" king|strong="H4430" had|strong="H4430" set|strong="H6966" up|strong="H6966"; and|strong="H4430" they|strong="H3606" stood|strong="H6966" before|strong="H6903" the|strong="H3606" image|strong="H6755" that|strong="H1768" Nebuchadnezzar|strong="H5020" had|strong="H4430" set|strong="H6966" up|strong="H6966".
4 Then the|strong="H7123" herald|strong="H3744" cried|strong="H7123" aloud|strong="H2429", To|strong="H2429" you it is commanded, O|strong="H3068" peoples|strong="H5972", nations, and languages|strong="H3961",
5 that|strong="H1768" at|strong="H6966" what|strong="H1768" time|strong="H5732" ye|strong="H5732" hear|strong="H8086" the|strong="H3606" sound|strong="H7032" of|strong="H4430" the|strong="H3606" cornet|strong="H7162", flute|strong="H4953", harp|strong="H6460", sackbut|strong="H5443", psaltery|strong="H6460", dulcimer|strong="H5481", and|strong="H5308" all|strong="H3606" kinds|strong="H2178" of|strong="H4430" music|strong="H2170", ye|strong="H5732" fall|strong="H5308" down|strong="H5308" and|strong="H5308" worship|strong="H5457" the|strong="H3606" golden|strong="H1722" image|strong="H6755" that|strong="H1768" Nebuchadnezzar|strong="H5020" the|strong="H3606" king|strong="H4430" hath|strong="H4430" set|strong="H6966" up|strong="H6966";
6 and|strong="H5308" whoso|strong="H4479" falleth|strong="H5308" not|strong="H3809" down|strong="H5308" and|strong="H5308" worshipeth shall|strong="H5457" the|strong="H5457" same|strong="H1459" hour|strong="H8160" be|strong="H3809" cast|strong="H7412" into|strong="H1459" the|strong="H5457" midst|strong="H1459" of|strong="H1768" a|strong="H3068" burning|strong="H3345" fiery|strong="H5135" furnace.
7 Therefore|strong="H3606" at|strong="H6903" that|strong="H1768" time|strong="H2166", when|strong="H1768" all|strong="H3606" the|strong="H3606" peoples|strong="H5972" heard|strong="H8086" the|strong="H3606" sound|strong="H7032" of|strong="H4430" the|strong="H3606" cornet|strong="H7162", flute|strong="H4953", harp|strong="H6460", sackbut|strong="H5443", psaltery|strong="H6460", and|strong="H5308" all|strong="H3606" kinds|strong="H2178" of|strong="H4430" music|strong="H2170", all|strong="H3606" the|strong="H3606" peoples|strong="H5972", the|strong="H3606" nations, and|strong="H5308" the|strong="H3606" languages|strong="H3961", fell|strong="H5308" down|strong="H5308" and|strong="H5308" worshiped|strong="H5457" the|strong="H3606" golden|strong="H1722" image|strong="H6755" that|strong="H1768" Nebuchadnezzar|strong="H5020" the|strong="H3606" king|strong="H4430" had|strong="H4430" set|strong="H6966" up|strong="H6966".
8 Wherefore|strong="H3606" at|strong="H6903" that|strong="H1768" time|strong="H2166" certain|strong="H1400" Chaldeans|strong="H3779" came|strong="H7127" near|strong="H7127", and|strong="H7127" brought accusation against|strong="H6903" the|strong="H3606" Jews|strong="H3062".
9 They answered|strong="H6032" and|strong="H6032" said|strong="H6032" to|strong="H4430" Nebuchadnezzar|strong="H5020" the|strong="H5020" king|strong="H4430", O|strong="H3068" king|strong="H4430", live|strong="H2418" forever|strong="H5957".
10 Thou|strong="H3606", O|strong="H3068" king|strong="H4430", hast made|strong="H7761" a|strong="H3068" decree|strong="H2942", that|strong="H1768" every|strong="H3606" man that|strong="H1768" shall|strong="H3606" hear|strong="H8086" the|strong="H3606" sound|strong="H7032" of|strong="H4430" the|strong="H3606" cornet|strong="H7162", flute|strong="H4953", harp|strong="H6460", sackbut|strong="H5443", psaltery|strong="H6460", and|strong="H5308" dulcimer|strong="H5481", and|strong="H5308" all|strong="H3606" kinds|strong="H2178" of|strong="H4430" music|strong="H2170", shall|strong="H3606" fall|strong="H5308" down|strong="H5308" and|strong="H5308" worship|strong="H5457" the|strong="H3606" golden|strong="H1722" image|strong="H6755";
11 and|strong="H5308" whoso|strong="H4479" falleth|strong="H5308" not|strong="H3809" down|strong="H5308" and|strong="H5308" worshipeth, shall|strong="H5457" be|strong="H3809" cast|strong="H7412" into|strong="H1459" the|strong="H5457" midst|strong="H1459" of|strong="H1768" a|strong="H3068" burning|strong="H3345" fiery|strong="H5135" furnace.
12 There|strong="H1768" are|strong="H1768" certain|strong="H1400" Jews|strong="H3062" whom|strong="H1768" thou|strong="H1768" hast appointed|strong="H4483" over|strong="H5922" the|strong="H5922" affairs|strong="H5673" of|strong="H4430" the|strong="H5922" province|strong="H4083" of|strong="H4430" Babylon: Shadrach|strong="H7715", Meshach|strong="H4336", and|strong="H4336" Abed-nego|strong="H5665"; these men|strong="H1400", O|strong="H3068" king|strong="H4430", have|strong="H7761" not|strong="H3809" regarded|strong="H2942" thee|strong="H5922": they|strong="H1768" serve|strong="H6399" not|strong="H3809" thy|strong="H5922" gods, nor|strong="H3809" worship|strong="H5457" the|strong="H5922" golden|strong="H1722" image|strong="H6755" which|strong="H1768" thou|strong="H1768" hast set|strong="H6966" up|strong="H6966".
13 Then|strong="H4430" Nebuchadnezzar|strong="H5020" in|strong="H4430" his rage|strong="H7266" and|strong="H4336" fury|strong="H2528" commanded to|strong="H6925" bring Shadrach|strong="H7715", Meshach|strong="H4336", and|strong="H4336" Abed-nego|strong="H5665". Then|strong="H4430" they brought these men|strong="H1400" before|strong="H6925" the|strong="H5020" king|strong="H4430".
14 Nebuchadnezzar|strong="H5020" answered|strong="H6032" and|strong="H6032" said|strong="H6032" unto|strong="H6032" them, Is|strong="H1768" it of|strong="H1768" purpose, O|strong="H3068" Shadrach|strong="H7715", Meshach|strong="H4336", and|strong="H6032" Abed-nego|strong="H5665", that|strong="H1768" ye serve|strong="H6399" not|strong="H3809" my|strong="H6399" god, nor|strong="H3809" worship|strong="H5457" the|strong="H5020" golden|strong="H1722" image|strong="H6755" which|strong="H1768" I|strong="H1768" have|strong="H5020" set|strong="H6966" up|strong="H6966"?
15 Now|strong="H3705" if|strong="H2006" ye|strong="H2006" be|strong="H3809" ready|strong="H6263" that|strong="H1768" at what|strong="H4479" time|strong="H5732" ye|strong="H2006" hear|strong="H8086" the|strong="H3606" sound|strong="H7032" of|strong="H4481" the|strong="H3606" cornet|strong="H7162", flute|strong="H4953", harp|strong="H6460", sackbut|strong="H5443", psaltery|strong="H6460", and|strong="H5308" dulcimer|strong="H5481", and|strong="H5308" all|strong="H3606" kinds|strong="H2178" of|strong="H4481" music|strong="H2170", ye|strong="H2006" fall|strong="H5308" down|strong="H5308" and|strong="H5308" worship|strong="H5457" the|strong="H3606" image|strong="H6755" which|strong="H1768" I|strong="H4481" have|strong="H1768" made|strong="H5648", well: but|strong="H1768" if|strong="H2006" ye|strong="H2006" worship|strong="H5457" not|strong="H3809", ye|strong="H2006" shall|strong="H5732" be|strong="H3809" cast|strong="H7412" the|strong="H3606" same|strong="H1459" hour|strong="H8160" into|strong="H1459" the|strong="H3606" midst|strong="H1459" of|strong="H4481" a|strong="H3068" burning|strong="H3345" fiery|strong="H5135" furnace; and|strong="H5308" who|strong="H1768" is|strong="H1768" that|strong="H1768" god that|strong="H1768" shall|strong="H5732" deliver|strong="H7804" you|strong="H1768" out|strong="H5648" of|strong="H4481" my|strong="H4481" hands|strong="H3028"?
16 Shadrach|strong="H7715", Meshach|strong="H4336", and|strong="H6032" Abed-nego|strong="H5665" answered|strong="H6032" and|strong="H6032" said|strong="H6032" to|strong="H5922" the|strong="H5922" king|strong="H4430", O|strong="H3068" Nebuchadnezzar|strong="H5020", we|strong="H3068" have|strong="H5020" no|strong="H3809" need|strong="H2818" to|strong="H5922" answer|strong="H6600" thee|strong="H5922" in|strong="H5922" this|strong="H1836" matter|strong="H6600".
17 If|strong="H2006" it|strong="H2006" be so, our|strong="H4481" God whom|strong="H1768" we|strong="H3068" serve|strong="H6399" is|strong="H1768" able|strong="H3202" to|strong="H3202" deliver|strong="H7804" us|strong="H7804" from|strong="H4481" the|strong="H4481" burning|strong="H3345" fiery|strong="H5135" furnace; and|strong="H4430" he|strong="H1768" will|strong="H1768" deliver|strong="H7804" us|strong="H7804" out of|strong="H4481" thy|strong="H6399" hand|strong="H3028", O|strong="H3068" king|strong="H4430".
18 But|strong="H1768" if|strong="H2006" not|strong="H3809", be|strong="H1934" it|strong="H1934" known|strong="H3046" unto thee, O|strong="H3068" king|strong="H4430", that|strong="H1768" we|strong="H3068" will|strong="H1768" not|strong="H3809" serve|strong="H6399" thy|strong="H6399" gods, nor|strong="H3809" worship|strong="H5457" the|strong="H5457" golden|strong="H1722" image|strong="H6755" which|strong="H1768" thou|strong="H2006" hast set|strong="H6966" up|strong="H6966".
19 Then|strong="H1768" was|strong="H5020" Nebuchadnezzar|strong="H5020" full|strong="H4391" of|strong="H5922" fury|strong="H2528", and|strong="H6032" the|strong="H5922" form|strong="H6755" of|strong="H5922" his|strong="H5922" visage was|strong="H5020" changed|strong="H8133" against|strong="H5922" Shadrach|strong="H7715", Meshach|strong="H4336", and|strong="H6032" Abed-nego|strong="H5665": therefore he|strong="H1768" spake|strong="H6032", and|strong="H6032" commanded that|strong="H1768" they|strong="H1768" should heat the|strong="H5922" furnace seven|strong="H7655" times|strong="H7655" more|strong="H5922" than|strong="H1768" it|strong="H5922" was|strong="H5020" wont|strong="H2370" to|strong="H5922" be heated.
20 And|strong="H4336" he|strong="H1768" commanded certain|strong="H1400" mighty|strong="H1401" men|strong="H1400" that|strong="H1768" were|strong="H1400" in|strong="H1768" his|strong="H1768" army|strong="H2429" to|strong="H2429" bind|strong="H3729" Shadrach|strong="H7715", Meshach|strong="H4336", and|strong="H4336" Abed-nego|strong="H5665", and to|strong="H2429" cast|strong="H7412" them into|strong="H7412" the|strong="H1768" burning|strong="H3345" fiery|strong="H5135" furnace.
21 Then these men|strong="H1400" were|strong="H1400" bound|strong="H3729" in their hosen|strong="H6361", their tunics, and their mantles, and their other garments|strong="H3831", and were|strong="H1400" cast|strong="H7412" into|strong="H1459" the midst|strong="H1459" of|strong="H1459" the burning|strong="H3345" fiery|strong="H5135" furnace.
22 Therefore|strong="H3606" because|strong="H6903" the|strong="H3606" king|strong="H4430"’s commandment|strong="H4406" was|strong="H4430" urgent|strong="H2685", and|strong="H4336" the|strong="H3606" furnace exceeding|strong="H3493" hot, the|strong="H3606" flame|strong="H7631" of|strong="H4481" the|strong="H3606" fire|strong="H5135" slew|strong="H6992" those|strong="H1994" men|strong="H1400" that|strong="H1768" took up|strong="H5267" Shadrach|strong="H7715", Meshach|strong="H4336", and|strong="H4336" Abed-nego|strong="H5665".
23 And|strong="H4336" these three|strong="H8532" men|strong="H1400", Shadrach|strong="H7715", Meshach|strong="H4336", and|strong="H4336" Abed-nego|strong="H5665", fell|strong="H5308" down|strong="H5308" bound|strong="H3729" into|strong="H1459" the midst|strong="H1459" of|strong="H1459" the burning|strong="H3345" fiery|strong="H5135" furnace.
24 Then|strong="H4430" Nebuchadnezzar|strong="H5020" the|strong="H5020" king|strong="H4430" was|strong="H4430" astonished, and|strong="H6032" rose up|strong="H6966" in|strong="H4430" haste: he|strong="H5020" spake|strong="H6032" and|strong="H6032" said|strong="H6032" unto|strong="H6032" his|strong="H5020" counselors|strong="H1907", Did not|strong="H3809" we|strong="H3068" cast|strong="H7412" three|strong="H8532" men|strong="H1400" bound|strong="H3729" into|strong="H1459" the|strong="H5020" midst|strong="H1459" of|strong="H4430" the|strong="H5020" fire|strong="H5135"? They|strong="H3809" answered|strong="H6032" and|strong="H6032" said|strong="H6032" unto|strong="H6032" the|strong="H5020" king|strong="H4430", True|strong="H3330", O|strong="H3068" king|strong="H4430".
25 He|strong="H1768" answered|strong="H6032" and|strong="H6032" said|strong="H6032", Lo|strong="H1888", I|strong="H1768" see|strong="H2370" four men|strong="H1400" loose|strong="H8271", walking|strong="H1981" in|strong="H1981" the|strong="H1768" midst|strong="H1459" of|strong="H1247" the|strong="H1768" fire|strong="H5135", and|strong="H6032" they|strong="H1768" have|strong="H1768" no|strong="H3809" hurt|strong="H2257"; and|strong="H6032" the|strong="H1768" aspect of|strong="H1247" the|strong="H1768" fourth|strong="H7244" is|strong="H1768" like|strong="H1821" a|strong="H3068" son|strong="H1247" of|strong="H1247" the|strong="H1768" gods.
26 Then|strong="H1768" Nebuchadnezzar|strong="H5020" came|strong="H7127" near|strong="H7127" to|strong="H5312" the|strong="H4481" mouth|strong="H8651" of|strong="H4481" the|strong="H4481" burning|strong="H3345" fiery|strong="H5135" furnace: he|strong="H1768" spake|strong="H6032" and|strong="H6032" said|strong="H6032", Shadrach|strong="H7715", Meshach|strong="H4336", and|strong="H6032" Abed-nego|strong="H5665", ye servants|strong="H5649" of|strong="H4481" the|strong="H4481" Most|strong="H5943" High|strong="H5943" God, come|strong="H7127" forth|strong="H5312", and|strong="H6032" come|strong="H7127" hither.
