Daniel 3:19 (NLT) New Living Translation

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.
1 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 the king H4430 made H5648 an image H6755 of H1768 gold, H1722 whose height H7314 was threescore H8361 cubits, H521 and the breadth H6613 thereof six H8353 cubits: H521 he set it up H6966 in the plain H1236 of Dura, H1757 in the province H4083 of Babylon. H895
2 Then Nebuchadnezzar H5020 the king H4430 sent H7972 to gather together H3673 the princes, H324 the governors, H5460 and the captains, H6347 the judges, H148 the treasurers, H1411 the counselors, H1884 the sheriffs, H8614 and all H3606 the rulers H7984 of the provinces, H4083 to come H858 to the dedication H2597 of the image H6755 which H1768 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 the king H4430 had set up. H6966
3 Then H116 the princes, H324 the governors, H5460 and captains, H6347 the judges, H148 the treasurers, H1411 the counselors, H1884 the sheriffs, H8614 and all H3606 the rulers H7984 of the provinces, H4083 were gathered together H3673 unto the dedication H2597 of the image H6755 that H1768 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 the king H4430 had set up; H6966 and they stood H6966 before H6903 the image H6755 that H1768 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 had set up. H6966
4 Then a herald H3744 cried H7123 aloud, H2429 To you it is commanded, H560 O people, H5972 nations, H524 and languages, H3961
5 That at what H1768 time H5732 ye hear H8086 the sound H7032 of the cornet, H7162 flute, H4953 harp, H7030 sackbut, H5443 psaltery, H6460 dulcimer, H5481 and all H3606 kinds H2178 of music, H2170 ye fall down H5308 and worship H5457 the golden H1722 image H6755 that H1768 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 the king H4430 hath set up: H6966
6 And whoso H4479 H1768 falleth not down H5308 H3809 and worshipeth H5457 shall the same hour H8160 be cast H7412 into the midst H1459 of a burning H3345 fiery H5135 furnace. H861
7 Therefore H3606 H6903 H1836 at that time, H2166 when H1768 all H3606 the people H5972 heard H8086 the sound H7032 of the cornet, H7162 flute, H4953 harp, H7030 sackbut, H5443 psaltery, H6460 and all H3606 kinds H2178 of music, H2170 all H3606 the people, H5972 the nations, H524 and the languages, H3961 fell down H5308 and worshiped H5457 the golden H1722 image H6755 that H1768 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 the king H4430 had set up. H6966
8 Wherefore H3606 H6903 H1836 at that time H2166 certain H1400 Chaldeans H3779 came near, H7127 and accused H399 H7170 the Jews H1768. H3062
9 They spoke H6032 and said H560 to the king H4430 Nebuchadnezzar, H5020 O king, H4430 live H2418 forever. H5957
10 Thou H607 , O king, H4430 hast made H7761 a decree, H2942 that H1768 every H3606 man H606 that H1768 shall hear H8086 the sound H7032 of the cornet, H7162 flute, H4953 harp, H7030 sackbut, H5443 psaltery, H6460 and dulcimer, H5481 and all H3606 kinds H2178 of music, H2170 shall fall down H5308 and worship H5457 the golden H1722 image: H6755
11 And whoso H4479 H1768 falleth not down H5308 H3809 and worshipeth, H5457 that he should be cast H7412 into the midst H1459 of a burning H3345 fiery H5135 furnace. H861
12 There are H383 certain H1400 Jews H3062 whom H1768 thou hast set H4483 over H5922 the affairs H5673 of the province H4083 of Babylon, H895 Shadrach, H7715 Meshach, H4336 and Abed- H5665 nego; these H479 men, H1400 O king, H4430 have not H3809 regarded H7761 H2942 H5922 thee : they serve H6399 not H3809 thy gods, H426 nor H3809 worship H5457 the golden H1722 image H6755 which H1768 thou hast set up. H6966
13 Then H116 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 in his rage H7266 and fury H2528 commanded H560 to bring H858 Shadrach, H7715 Meshach, H4336 and Abed- H5665 nego. Then H116 they brought H858 these H479 men H1400 before H6925 the king. H4430
14 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 spoke H6032 and said H560 unto them, Is it true, H6656 O Shadrach, H7715 Meshach, H4336 and Abed- H5665 nego, do H383 not H3809 ye serve H6399 my gods, H426 nor H3809 worship H5457 the golden H1722 image H6755 which H1768 I have set up H6966 ?
15 Now H3705 if H2006 ye be H383 ready H6263 that H1768 at what H1768 time H5732 ye hear H8086 the sound H7032 of the cornet, H7162 flute, H4953 harp, H7030 sackbut, H5443 psaltery, H6460 and dulcimer, H5481 and all H3606 kinds H2178 of music, H2170 ye fall down H5308 and worship H5457 the image H6755 which H1768 I have made; H5648 well : but if H2006 ye worship H5457 not, H3809 ye shall be cast H7412 the same hour H8160 into the midst H1459 of a burning H3345 fiery H5135 furnace; H861 and who H4479 is that H1932 God H426 that H1768 shall deliver H7804 you out of H4481 my hands H3028 ?
16 Shadrach H7715 , Meshach, H4336 and Abed- H5665 nego, answered H6032 and said H560 to the king, H4430 O Nebuchadnezzar, H5020 we H586 are not H3809 careful H2818 to answer H8421 thee in H5922 this H1836 matter. H6600
17 If H2006 it be H383 so , our God H426 whom H1768 we H586 serve H6399 is able H3202 to deliver H7804 us from H4481 the burning H3345 fiery H5135 furnace, H861 and he will deliver H7804 us out of H4481 thine hand, H3028 O king. H4430
18 But if H2006 not, H3809 be H1934 it known H3046 unto thee , O king, H4430 that H1768 we will H383 not H3809 serve H6399 thy gods, H426 nor H3809 worship H5457 the golden H1722 image H6755 which H1768 thou hast set up. H6966
19 Then H116 was Nebuchadnezzar H5020 full H4391 of fury, H2528 and the form H6755 of his visage H600 was changed H8133 against H5922 Shadrach, H7715 Meshach, H4336 and Abed- H5665 nego: therefore he spoke, H6032 and commanded H560 that they should heat H228 the furnace H861 one H2298 seven times H7655 more H5922 than H1768 it was wont H2370 to be heated. H228
20 And he commanded H560 the most mighty H1401 H2429 men H1400 that H1768 were in his army H2429 to bind H3729 Shadrach, H7715 Meshach, H4336 and Abed- H5665 nego, and to cast H7412 them into the burning H3345 fiery H5135 furnace. H861
21 Then H116 these H479 men H1400 were bound H3729 in their coats, H5622 their hosen, H6361 and their hats, H3737 and their other garments, H3831 and were cast H7412 into the midst H1459 of the burning H3345 fiery H5135 furnace. H861
22 Therefore H3606 H6903 H1836 because H4481 H1768 the king's H4430 commandment H4406 was urgent, H2685 and the furnace H861 exceeding H3493 hot, H228 the flame H7631 of H1768 the fire H5135 slew H6992 those H479 men H1400 that H1768 took up H5267 Shadrach, H7715 Meshach, H4336 and Abed- H5665 nego.
23 And these H479 three H8532 men, H1400 Shadrach, H7715 Meshach, H4336 and Abed- H5665 nego , fell down H5308 bound H3729 into the midst H1459 of the burning H3345 fiery H5135 furnace. H861
24 Then H116 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 the king H4430 was astonished, H8429 and rose up H6966 in haste, H927 and spoke, H6032 and said H560 unto his counselors, H1907 Did not H3809 we cast H7412 three H8532 men H1400 bound H3729 into the midst H1459 of the fire H5135 ? They answered H6032 and said H560 unto the king, H4430 True, H3330 O king. H4430
25 He answered H6032 and said, H560 Lo, H1888 I H576 see H2370 four H703 men H1400 loose, H8271 walking H1981 in the midst H1459 of the fire, H5135 and they have H383 no H3809 hurt; H2257 and the form H7299 of H1768 the fourth H7244 is like H1821 the Son H1247 of God. H426
26 Then H116 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 came near H7127 to the mouth H8651 of the burning H3345 fiery H5135 furnace, H861 and spoke, H6032 and said, H560 Shadrach, H7715 Meshach, H4336 and Abed- H5665 nego , ye servants H5649 of H1768 the most high H5943 God, H426 come forth, H5312 and come H858 hither . Then H116 Shadrach, H7715 Meshach, H4336 and Abed- H5665 nego , came forth H5312 of H4481 the midst H1459 of the fire. H5135
27 And the princes, H324 governors, H5460 and captains, H6347 and the king's H4430 counselors, H1907 being gathered together, H3673 saw H2370 these H479 men, H1400 upon whose H1768 bodies H1655 the fire H5135 had no power H7981 H3809 , nor H3809 was a hair H8177 of their head H7217 singed, H2761 neither H3809 were their coats H5622 changed, H8133 nor H3809 the smell H7382 of fire H5135 had passed H5709 on them.
28 Then Nebuchadnezzar H5020 spoke, H6032 and said, H560 Blessed H1289 be the God H426 of H1768 Shadrach, H7715 Meshach, H4336 and Abed- H5665 nego, who H1768 hath sent H7972 his angel, H4398 and delivered H7804 his servants H5649 that H1768 trusted H7365 in H5922 him , and have changed H8133 the king's H4430 word, H4406 and yielded H3052 their bodies, H1655 that H1768 they might not H3809 serve H6399 nor H3809 worship H5457 any H3606 god, H426 except H3861 their own God. H426
29 Therefore I make H4481 H7761 a decree, H2942 That H1768 every H3606 people, H5972 nation, H524 and language, H3961 which H1768 speak H560 any thing amiss H7955 against H5922 the God H426 of H1768 Shadrach, H7715 Meshach, H4336 and Abed- H5665 nego , shall be cut H5648 in pieces, H1917 and their houses H1005 shall be made H7739 a dunghill: H5122 because H3606 H6903 H1768 there is H383 no H3809 other H321 God H426 that H1768 can H3202 deliver H5338 after this sort. H1836
30 Then H116 the king H4430 promoted H6744 Shadrach, H7715 Meshach, H4336 and Abed- H5665 nego , in the province H4083 of Babylon. H895
