* Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach , Meshach , and Abednego #Abed . Then they brought these men before the king . * Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them , Is it true , O Shadrach , Meshach , and Abednego #Abed , do not ye serve p @ my gods , nor worship c @ the golden image which I have set up ? * Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear sh @ the sound of the cornet , flute , harp , sackbut , psaltery , and dulcimer , and all kinds of musick , ye fall down n @ and worship c @ the image which I have made ; well : but if ye worship c @ not , ye shall be cast r @ the same hour into the midst of a burning y @ fiery furnace ; and who is that God that shall deliver sh @ you out of my hands ? * Shadrach , Meshach , and Abednego #Abed , answered and said to the king , O Nebuchadnezzar , we are not careful to answer thee in this matter . * If it be so , our God whom we serve p @ is able y @ to deliver sh @ us from the burning y @ fiery furnace , and # he will deliver sh @ us out of thine hand , O king . * But if not , be it known y @ unto thee , O king , that we will not serve p @ thy gods , nor worship c @ the golden image which thou hast set up . * Then was Nebuchadnezzar full m @ of fury , and the form of his visage was changed sh @ against Shadrach , Meshach , and Abednego #Abed : therefore he spake , and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated . * And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind k @ Shadrach , Meshach , and Abednego #Abed , and to cast r @ them into the burning y @ fiery furnace . * Then these men were bound k @ in their coats , their hosen , and their hats , and their other garments , and were cast r @ into the midst of the burning y @ fiery furnace . * Therefore kol # because min # the kings commandment was urgent , and the furnace exceeding hot , the flame of the fire slew q @ those men g @bar # that took up n @ Shadrach , Meshach , and Abednego #Abed . * And these three men , Shadrach , Meshach , and Abednego #Abed , fell down n @ bound k @ into the midst of the burning y @ fiery furnace . * Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied t @, and rose up in haste b @, and spake , and said unto his counsellors , Did not we cast r @ three men bound k @ into the midst of the fire ? They answered and said unto the king , True , O king . * He answered and said , Lo , I see four men loose sh @, walking in the midst of the fire , and they have no hurt ; and the form of the fourth is like d @ the Son of God .
