For in truth and in judgment, you have brought down all these things because of our sins. <V 3:29>For we have sinned, and we have committed iniquity in withdrawing from you, and we have offended in all things. <V 3:30>And we have not listened to your precepts, nor have we observed or done as you have ordered us, so that it might go well with us. <V 3:31>Therefore, everything that you have brought upon us, and all that you have done for us, you have done in true judgment. <V 3:32>And you have delivered us into the hands of our enemies: traitors, unjust and most wicked, and to a king, unjust and most wicked, even more so than all others on earth. <V 3:33>And now we are not able to open our mouths. We have become a shame and a disgrace to your servants and to those who worship you. <V 3:34>Do not hand us over forever, we ask you, because of your name, and do not abolish your covenant. <V 3:35>And do not withdraw your mercy from us, because of Abraham, your beloved, and Isaac, your servant, and Israel, your holy one. <V 3:36>You have spoken with them, promising that you would multiply their offspring like the stars of heaven and like the sand on the seashore. <V 3:37>For we, O Lord, are diminished more than all other peoples, and we are brought low throughout all the earth, this day, because of our sins. <V 3:38>Neither is there, at this time, a leader, or a ruler, or a prophet, nor any holocaust, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place of first fruits, in your eyes, <V 3:39>so that we may be able to find your mercy. Nevertheless, with a contrite soul and humble spirit, let us be accepted. <V 3:40>Just as in the holocausts of rams and bullocks, and as in thousands of fat lambs, so let our sacrifice be in your sight this day, in order to please you. For there is no shame for those who trust in you. <V 3:41>And now we follow you wholeheartedly, and we fear you, and we seek your face. <V 3:42>Do not put us to shame, but deal with us in agreement with your clemency and according to the multitude of your mercies. <V 3:43>And rescue us by your wonders and give glory to your name, O Lord. <V 3:44>And let all those be confounded who lead your servants towards evil. May they be confounded by all your power and may their strength be crushed. <V 3:45>And may they know that you are the Lord, the only God, and glorious above the world.” <V 3:46>And they did not cease, those attendants of the king who had cast them in, to heat the furnace with oil, and flax, and pitch, and brush. <V 3:47>And the flame streamed forth above the furnace for forty-nine cubits. <V 3:48>And the fire erupted and burnt those of the Chaldeans within its reach near the furnace. <V 3:49>But the angel of the Lord descended with Azariah and his companions into the furnace; and he cast the flame of the fire out of the furnace. <V 3:50>And he made the middle of the furnace like the blowing of a damp wind, and the fire did not touch them, nor afflict them, nor bother them at all. <V 3:51>Then these three, as if with one voice, praised and glorified and blessed God, in the furnace, saying: <V 3:52>“Blessed are you, Lord, God of our fathers: praiseworthy, and glorious, and exalted above all forever. And blessed is the holy name of your glory: praiseworthy, and exalted above all, for all ages. <V 3:53>Blessed are you in the holy temple of your glory: praiseworthy above all and exalted above all forever. <V 3:54>Blessed are you on the throne of your kingdom: praiseworthy above all and exalted above all forever. <V 3:55>Blessed are you who beholds the abyss and sits upon the cherubims: praiseworthy and exalted above all forever. <V 3:56>Blessed are you in the firmament of heaven: praiseworthy and glorious forever. <V 3:57>All works of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:58>Angels of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:59>Heaven, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:60>All waters that are above the heavens, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:61>All powers of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:62>Sun and moon, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:63>Stars of heaven, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:64>Every rain and dew, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:65>Every breath of God, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:66>Fire and steam, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:67>Cold and heat, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:68>Dews and frost, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:69>Sleet and winter, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:70>Ice and snow, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:71>Nights and days, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:72>Light and darkness, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:73>Lightning and clouds, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:74>May the land bless the Lord: and praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:75>Mountains and hills, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:76>All things that grow in the land, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:77>Fountains, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:78>Seas and rivers, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:79>Whales and all things that move in the waters, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:80>All things that fly in the heavens, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:81>All beasts and cattle, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:82>Sons of men, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:83>May Israel bless the Lord: and praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:84>Priests of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:85>Servants of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:86>Spirits and souls of the just, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:87>Those who are holy and humble in heart, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. <V 3:88>Hananiah, Azariah, Mishael, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever.

These men were not just any individuals; they were Jewish exiles who had risen to positions of influence in Babylon. Their Hebrew names, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, reflect their heritage and faith in the God of Israel. The use of "three" signifies completeness and unity, a small but powerful group standing firm in their faith.<p><b>Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego</b><br />These are the Babylonian names given to the three men, replacing their Hebrew names. This change signifies the attempt by the Babylonian empire to assimilate them into their culture and religion. However, despite the change in names, their faith and identity in God remained unshaken. Their account is a testament to the power of faith and identity in the face of external pressures.<p><b>firmly bound</b><br />The phrase "firmly bound" indicates the severity of their situation. The binding was not just physical but symbolic of the attempts to suppress their faith and testimony. In the Hebrew context, binding often represents oppression or captivity, yet it also sets the stage for divine intervention. The binding of these men highlights the contrast between human limitations and God's limitless power.<p><b>fell into</b><br />The act of falling into the furnace suggests a sense of inevitability and helplessness from a human perspective. However, it also foreshadows the miraculous deliverance that God is about to perform. In biblical narratives, falling often precedes a divine act of salvation or revelation, reminding believers that God's power is made perfect in weakness.<p><b>the blazing fiery furnace</b><br />The furnace represents the ultimate test of faith. Historically, such furnaces were used for smelting metals, and their intense heat symbolizes the trials and persecutions faced by believers. The "blazing" nature of the furnace underscores the severity of the trial, yet it also serves as a backdrop for God's miraculous intervention. In Scripture, fire often represents both judgment and purification, suggesting that through this trial, the faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego would be both tested and refined.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/daniel/3-23.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">And these</span><br /><span class="heb">אִלֵּךְ֙</span> <span class="translit">(’il·lêḵ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Pronoun -
