Now there are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon; their names are Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, king, pay no attention to you. They will not worship or serve your gods, or prostrate themselves before the golden statue you have set up.”

Now if you are ready—when you hear the sounds of the horns, flutes, zithers, lyres, harps, and pipes, and all kinds of music—to fall down and prostrate yourselves to the statue that I have made, all will be well. But if you do not worship, you will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace. Who is the god who is able to rescue you out of my hands?”

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, “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 there is an answer, it is that our God whom we serve is able to keep us safe from the blazing furnace, and he will rescue us out of your hand, king.

Then he commanded some very strong men in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and to throw them into the blazing 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]

Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was amazed and stood up quickly. He asked his advisors, “Did we not throw three men tied up into the fire?” They replied to the king, “Certainly, king.”
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
He said, “But I see four men who are not tied up walking around in the fire, and they are not hurt. The brilliance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”

Then Nebuchadnezzar came near the door of the blazing furnace and called out, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of God Most High, come out! Come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire.

The provincial governors, regional governors, other governors, and the king's counselors who had gathered together saw these men. The fire had not hurt their bodies; the hair on their heads was not singed; their robes were not harmed; 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 said, “Let us praise the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his messenger and given his message to his servants. They trusted in him when they set aside my command, and they gave up their bodies rather than worship or prostrate themselves to any god except their 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

Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
