13 in/on/with then Nebuchadnezzar in/on/with rage and rage to say to/for to come to/for Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego in/on/with then man [the] these to come before king [the]
Then Nebuchadnezzar, furious with rage, summoned Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king,
14 to answer Nebuchadnezzar and to say to/for them intended Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego to/for god my not there is you to serve and to/for image gold [the] that to stand: establish not to do homage

Now, if you are ready, as soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the statue I have made. But if you refuse to worship, you will be thrown at once into the blazing fiery furnace. Then what god will be able to deliver you from my hands?”
16 to answer Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego and to say to/for king [the] Nebuchadnezzar not to need we since this edict to/for to return: reply you
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
17 if there is god our that we to serve be able to/for to rescue us from furnace fire [the] to burn [the] and from hand your king [the] to rescue
If the God whom we serve exists, then He is able to deliver us from the blazing fiery furnace and from your hand, O king.
18 and if not to know to be to/for you king [the] that (to/for god your *Q(K)*) not (there is we *Q(k)*) to serve and to/for image gold [the] that to stand: establish not to do homage
But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.”

At this, Nebuchadnezzar was filled with rage, and the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He gave orders to heat the furnace seven times hotter than usual,
20 and to/for man mighty strength that in/on/with strength his to say to/for to bind to/for Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego to/for to cast to/for furnace fire [the] to burn [the]
and he commanded some mighty men of valor in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and throw them into the blazing fiery furnace.
21 in/on/with then man [the] these to bind in/on/with mantle their (legging their *Q(k)*) and helmet their and garment their and to cast to/for midst furnace fire [the] to burn [the]
So they were tied up, wearing robes, trousers, turbans, and other clothes, and they were thrown into the blazing fiery furnace.
22 like/as to/for before: because this from that word king [the] be hasty and furnace [the] to heat preeminent man [the] these that to take up to/for Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego to slay they flame [the] that fire [the]
The king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the fiery flames killed the men who carried up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 and man [the] these three their Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego to fall to/for midst furnace fire [the] to burn [the] to bind
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, firmly bound, fell into the blazing fiery furnace.
24 then Nebuchadnezzar king [the] be startled and to stand: rise in/on/with to dismay to answer and to say to/for counselor his not man three to cast to/for midst fire [the] to bind to answer and to say to/for king [the] certain king [the]
Suddenly King Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in amazement and asked his advisers, “Did we not throw three men, firmly bound, into the fire?” “Certainly, O king,” they replied.
25 to answer and to say behold me to see man four to loose to go in/on/with midst fire [the] and harm not there is in/on/with them and appearance his that (fourth [the] *Q(k)*) be like to/for son god
“Look!” he exclaimed. “I see four men, unbound and unharmed, walking around in the fire—and the fourth looks like a son of the gods!”
26 in/on/with then to approach Nebuchadnezzar to/for door furnace fire [the] to burn [the] to answer and to say Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego servant/slave his that god [the] (Most High [the] *Q(k)*) to go out and to come in/on/with then to go out Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego from midst fire [the]
Then Nebuchadnezzar approached the door of the blazing fiery furnace and called out, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out!” So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire,
27 and to gather satrap [the] prefect [the] and governor [the] and counselor king [the] to see to/for man [the] these that not to rule fire [the] in/on/with body their and hair head their not to singe and mantle their not to change and smell fire not to pass on/over/away in/on/with them
and when the satraps, prefects, governors, and royal advisers had gathered around, they saw that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men. Not a hair of their heads was singed, their robes were unaffected, and there was no smell of fire on them.
28 to answer Nebuchadnezzar and to say to bless god their that Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego that to send angel his and to rescue to/for servant/slave his that to trust since him and word king [the] to change and to give (body their *Q(K)*) that not to serve and not to do homage to/for all god except to/for god their
Nebuchadnezzar declared, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him. They violated the king’s command and risked their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.
29 and from me to set: make command that all people people and tongue that to say (neglect *Q(K)*) since god their that Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego piece to make and house his dunghill be set like/as to/for before: because that not there is god another that be able to/for to rescue like/as this
Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will be cut into pieces and their houses reduced to rubble. For there is no other god who can deliver in this way.”
30 in/on/with then king [the] to prosper to/for Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego in/on/with province Babylon
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
