DAN 3:1
Daniel 3:1
|
|
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold,
whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set
it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:2
Daniel 3:2
|
|
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather
together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers,
the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to
the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. |
| |
|
|
|
DAN 3:3
Daniel 3:3
|
|
Then the princes, the governors, and captains,
the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers
of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar
had set up. |
| |
|
|
|
DAN 3:4
Daniel 3:4
|
|
Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded,
O people, nations, and languages, |
| |
|
|
|
DAN 3:5
Daniel 3:5
|
|
That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet,
flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down
and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: |
| |
|
|
|
DAN 3:6
Daniel 3:6
|
|
And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall
the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. |
| |
|
|
|
DAN 3:7
Daniel 3:7
|
|
Therefore at that time, when all the people
heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of
musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped
the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:8
Daniel 3:8
|
|
Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came
near, and accused the Jews. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:9
Daniel 3:9
|
|
They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar,
O king, live for ever. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:10
Daniel 3:10
|
|
Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every
man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and
dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image: |
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:11
Daniel 3:11
|
|
And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth,
that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:12
Daniel 3:12
|
|
There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over
the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these
men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the
golden image which thou hast set up. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:13
Daniel 3:13
|
|
Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded
to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the
king. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:14
Daniel 3:14
|
|
Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is
it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship
the golden image which I have set up? |
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:15
Daniel 3:15
|
|
Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear
the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all
kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but
if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning
fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? |
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:16
Daniel 3:16
|
|
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and
said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this
matter. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:17
Daniel 3:17
|
|
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to
deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine
hand, O king. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:18
Daniel 3:18
|
|
But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that
we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. |
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:19
Daniel 3:19
|
|
Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the
form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore
he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more
than it was wont to be heated. |
| |
|
|
|
DAN 3:20
Daniel 3:20
|
|
And he commanded the most mighty men that were
in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the
burning fiery furnace. |
| |
|
|
|
DAN 3:21
Daniel 3:21
|
|
Then these men were bound in their coats, their
hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst
of the burning fiery furnace. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:22
Daniel 3:22
|
|
Therefore because the king's commandment was
urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flames of the fire slew those men that
took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:23
Daniel 3:23
|
|
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:24
Daniel 3:24
|
|
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished,
and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast
three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king,
True, O king. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:25
Daniel 3:25
|
|
He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose,
walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth
is like the Son of God. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:26
Daniel 3:26
|
|
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of
the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:27
Daniel 3:27
|
|
And the princes, governors, and captains, and
the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies
the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their
coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:28
Daniel 3:28
|
|
Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed
be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered
his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded
their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own
God. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:29
Daniel 3:29
|
|
Therefore I make a decree, That every people,
nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made
a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. |
|
|
|
|
|
DAN 3:30
Daniel 3:30
|
|
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego, in the province of Babylon. |
