Daniel 3 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

For this ^H1836 reason ^H6903 at that time ^H2166 certain ^H1400 Chaldeans ^H3779 came ^H7127 forward ^H7127 and [fn]brought ^H399 charges ^H7170 against ^H1768 the Jews ^H3062.

Then ^H116 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 in rage ^H7266 and anger ^H2528 gave ^H560 orders ^H560 to bring ^H858 Shadrach ^H7715, Meshach ^H4336, and Abed-nego ^H5665; then ^H116 these ^H479 men ^H1400 were brought ^H858 before ^H6925 the king ^H4430.

Shadrach ^H7715, Meshach ^H4336, and Abed-nego ^H5665 replied ^H6032 to the king ^H4430, “Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020, we are ^H2818 not in ^H2818 need ^H2818 of ^H2818 an answer ^H6600 to give ^H8421 you concerning ^H5922 this ^H1836 matter ^H1836.

Then ^H116 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 was filled ^H4391 with wrath ^H2528, and his facial ^H600 expression ^H6755 was changed ^H8133 toward ^H5922 Shadrach ^H7715, Meshach ^H4336, and Abed-nego ^H5665. He answered ^H6032 [fn]by giving ^H560 orders ^H560 to heat ^H228 the furnace ^H861 seven ^H7655 times ^H2298 more ^H5922 than ^H5922 H1768 it was usually ^H2370 heated ^H228.

Then ^H116 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 the king ^H4430 was astounded ^H8429 and stood ^H6966 up ^H6966 quickly ^H927; he said ^H560 to his counselors ^H1907, “Was it not three ^H8532 men ^H1400 that we threw ^H7412 bound ^H3729 into the middle ^H1459 of the fire ^H5135?” They replied ^H6032 to the king ^H4430, “Absolutely ^H3330, O king ^H4430.”

Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 responded ^H6032 and said ^H560, “Blessed ^H1289 be the God ^H426 of Shadrach ^H7715, Meshach ^H4336, and Abed-nego ^H5665, who ^H1768 has sent ^H7972 His angel ^H4398 and rescued ^H7804 His servants ^H5649 who ^H1768 put ^H7365 their trust ^H7365 in Him, [fn]violating ^H8133 the king’s ^H4430 command ^H4406, and surrendered ^H3052 their bodies ^H1655 rather ^H1768 H3809 than ^H3809 serve ^H6399 or worship ^H5457 any ^H3606 god ^H426 except ^H3861 their own God ^H426.
