He set it up in a recessed area in the wall in the province of Babylon. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>King Nebuchadnezzar sent messengers to assemble the satraps, governors, mayors, military advisers, treasurers, judges, officers, and all the other provincial officials to dedicate the statue he had set up. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Then the satraps, governors, mayors, military advisers, treasurers, judges, officers, and all the other provincial officials assembled to dedicate the statue King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. They stood in front of the statue. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>The herald called out loudly, "People of every province, nation, and language! <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>When you hear the sound of rams' horns, flutes, lyres, harps, and three-stringed harps playing at the same time with all other kinds of instruments, bow down and worship the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Whoever doesn't bow down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace." <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>As soon as they heard the sound of rams' horns, flutes, lyres, harps, and three-stringed harps with all other kinds of instruments, all the people from every province, nation, and language bowed down and worshiped the gold statue King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>After that happened, some astrologers came forward and brought charges against the Jews. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>They addressed King Nebuchadnezzar, "Your Majesty, may you live forever! <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Your Majesty, you gave an order that everyone who hears the sound of rams' horns, flutes, lyres, harps, and three-stringed harps playing at the same time with all other kinds of instruments should bow down and worship the gold statue. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>[Your order said that] whoever doesn't bow down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>There are certain Jews whom you appointed to govern the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men didn't obey your order, Your Majesty. They don't honor your gods or worship the statue that you set up."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Then, in a fit of rage and anger, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Immediately, they were brought to the king. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Nebuchadnezzar asked them, "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, is it true that you don't honor my gods or worship the gold statue that I set up? <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>When you hear the sound of the rams' horns, flutes, lyres, harps, and three-stringed harps playing at the same time with all other kinds of instruments, will you bow down and worship the gold statue I made? If you don't worship it, you will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace. What god can save you from my power then?"</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered King Nebuchadnezzar, "We don't need to answer your last question. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>If our God, whom we honor, can save us from a blazing furnace and from your power, he will, Your Majesty. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>But if he doesn't, you should know, Your Majesty, we'll never honor your gods or worship the gold statue that you set up."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>Nebuchadnezzar was so filled with anger toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that his face turned red. He ordered that the furnace should be heated seven times hotter than normal. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>He told some soldiers from his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego so that they could be thrown into the blazing furnace. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>Then the three men were thrown into the blazing furnace. They were wearing their clothes, hats, and other clothing. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>The king's order was so urgent and the furnace was so extremely hot that the men who carried Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were killed by the flames from the fire. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>So these three men-Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego-fell into the blazing furnace. They were still tied up.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Then Nebuchadnezzar was startled. He sprang to his feet. He asked his advisers, "Didn't we throw three men into the fire?" "That's true, Your Majesty," they answered. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>The king replied, "But look, I see four men. They're untied, walking in the middle of the fire, and unharmed. The fourth one looks like a son of the gods." <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>Then Nebuchadnezzar went to the door of the blazing furnace and said, "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego-servants of the Most High God-come out here." Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>The king's satraps, governors, mayors, and advisers gathered around the three men. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies. The hair on their heads wasn't singed, their clothes weren't burned, and they didn't smell of smoke.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>Nebuchadnezzar said, "Praise the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He sent his angel and saved his servants, who trusted him. They disobeyed the king and risked their lives so that they would not have to honor or worship any god except their own God. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>So I order that people from every province, nation, or language who say anything slanderous about the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will be torn limb from limb. Their houses will be turned into piles of rubble. No other god can rescue like this." <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/3-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to higher positions in the province of Babylon.</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">GOD'S WORD&reg; is a copyrighted work of <a href="//www.godsword.org" target="_top">God's Word to the Nations</a>.
