'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the LORD of hosts, their God.' 6 "In that day I will make the governors of Judah like a firepan in the woodpile, and

Daniel Chapter 3 (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.” The Blazing Furnace
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 armyto 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 Thenthe king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to even higher positions in the
province of Babylon.
