Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose
height was
threescore
cubits, and
the
breadth thereof
six cubits :
he set
it up in the plain
of Dura, in the province of Babylon .
Nebuchadnezzar the king hath
made an image of gold, its
height sixty
cubits, its
breadth six cubits ;
he hath
raised
it up in the valley
of Dura, in the province of Babylon ;
Then
Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together
the princes
, the governors
, and the captains
, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces
, to come to the dedication of the image which
Nebuchadnezzar the king had
set
up.
and
Nebuchadnezzar the king hath
sent to gather the satraps
, the prefects
, and the governors
, the honourable
judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the province
, to come to the dedication of the image that
Nebuchadnezzar the king hath
raised
up.
Then the princes
, the governors
, and captains
, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces
, were
gathered
together
unto
the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had
set
up ;
and they stood
before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had
set
up.
Then are
gathered
the satraps
, the prefects
, and the
governors
, the honourable
judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the province
, to
the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath
raised
up :
and they are
standing
before the image that Nebuchadnezzar hath
raised
up.
Then
an
herald
cried
aloud,
To you it
is
commanded,
O people
, nations, and languages ,
And
a
crier
is
calling
mightily:
`
To you they
are
saying:
O peoples
, nations, and languages !
That
at what
time ye hear the sound
of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer
, and all kinds of musick
, ye fall down and worship
the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set
up:
at the
time that
ye hear the voice
of the cornet, the
flute, the
harp, the
sackbut, the
psaltery, the
symphony
, and all kinds of music
, ye fall down and do
obeisance
to
the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised
up:
And whoso falleth
not down and worshippeth
shall
the
same
hour be
cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
and whoso doth
not fall
down and do
obeisance,
in
that
hour he
is
cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. '
Therefore at that time, when all the people
heard
the sound
of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick
, all the people
, the
nations ,
and the
languages, fell
down
and
worshipped
the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had
set
up.
Therefore at that time, when all the peoples
are
hearing
the voice
of the cornet, the
flute, the
harp, the
sackbut, the
psaltery, and all kinds of music
, falling
down
are
all the peoples
, nations and languages, doing
obeisance
to
the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath
raised
up.
Wherefore
at that time certain Chaldeans came
near
, and accused the Jews .
Therefore
at that time drawn
near
have
certain Chaldeans, and accused the Jews ;
They spake
and
said
to the king Nebuchadnezzar
, O king, live for
ever.
they have
answered,
yea,
they
are
saying
to Nebuchadnezzar
the king, `
O king, to
the
ages
live !
Thou, O king, hast made a decree ,
that every man that
shall
hear the sound
of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer
, and all kinds of musick
, shall
fall down and worship
the golden image :
Thou, O king, hast made a decree that every man who
doth
hear the voice
of the cornet, the
flute, the
harp, the
sackbut, the
psaltery, and the
symphony
, and all kinds of music
, doth
fall down and do
obeisance
to
the golden image ;
And whoso falleth
not down and worshippeth
, that
he
should
be
cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
and whoso doth
not fall
down and do
obeisance
, is
cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
There are certain Jews whom thou hast set
over the affairs
of the province of Babylon ,
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego;
these men, O king, have
not
regarded
thee:
they
serve
not
thy gods, nor
worship
the golden image which
thou hast set
up.
There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed
over the work
of the province of Babylon --
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego,
these men have
not
made
of
thee
, O king, `any'
regard;
thy gods they
are
not
serving
, and
to
the golden image thou hast raised
up --
are
not
making
obeisance
. '
Then Nebuchadnezzar in his
rage
and fury commanded
to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
. Then they
brought
these men before the king.
Then Nebuchadnezzar ,
in anger
and fury ,
hath
said
to bring in
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego
. Then these men have
been
brought
in
before the king.
Nebuchadnezzar spake
and said unto
them, Is it true
, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
do
not
ye
serve
my gods, nor
worship
the golden image which
I have set
up?
Nebuchadnezzar hath
answered
and said to
them, `
Is `
it '
a
laid
plan
, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego
--
my gods ye
are
not
serving
, and
to
the golden image that
I have raised
up ye
are
not
doing
obeisance
?
Now if
ye be
ready that at what
time ye hear the sound
of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer
, and all kinds of musick
, ye fall down and worship
the image which
I have made ;
well:
but
if
ye
worship
not
, ye shall
be
cast
the
same
hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and
who is that God that
shall
deliver you out of my hands?
Now ,
lo,
ye are
ready ,
so
that at the
time that
ye hear the voice
of the cornet, the
flute, the
harp, the
sackbut, the
psaltery, and the
symphony
, and all kinds of music
, ye fall down and do
obeisance
to
the image that
I have made !
--
and
lo
, ye do
no
obeisance
--
in
that
hour ye
are
cast
into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; who is that God who
doth
deliver you out of my hands? '
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
answered and
said
to the king ,
O
Nebuchadnezzar, we are
not
careful
to answer thee in
this
matter
.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego
have
answered ,
yea,
they
are
saying
to the king Nebuchadnezzar, `
We have
no
need
concerning
this
matter
to answer thee.
If
it
be
so
, our God whom we serve
is able to deliver us from the
burning fiery furnace ,
and he
will
deliver
us
out
of
thine
hand, O king.
Lo
, it
is;
our God whom we are
serving,
is able to deliver us from a
burning fiery furnace ;
and from
thy
hand, O king ,
He
doth
deliver
.
But
if
not ,
be it known unto
thee, O king, that we
will
not
serve
thy gods, nor
worship
the golden image which
thou hast set
up.
And
lo
--
not !
be it known to
thee, O king, that thy gods we
are
not
serving
, and
to
the golden image thou hast raised
up we
do
no
obeisance
. '
Then was
Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form
of his visage
was
changed against
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego:
therefore
he spake,
and commanded
that
they
should
heat the furnace one
seven times more
than
it was
wont
to be heated .
Then Nebuchadnezzar hath
been
full of fury, and the expression
of his face
hath
been
changed concerning
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego;
he answered
and said
to
heat the furnace seven times above
that
which
it is
seen
to be heated ;
And he
commanded
the
most
mighty men that
were
in his army
to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
, and
to cast them
into the burning fiery furnace.
and to
certain
mighty men who
`are'
in his force
he
hath
said
to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego
, to cast into the burning fiery furnace.
Then these men were
bound in their coats, their hosen
, and their hats
, and their other
garments
, and were
cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Then these men have
been
bound in their coats, their tunics
, and their turbans
, and their clothing
, and have
been
cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Therefore because the king's
commandment
was
urgent, and the furnace exceeding
hot
, the
flames
of
the
fire
slew
those men that
took
up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
.
Therefore ,
because that
the word
of
the
king
is
urgent, and the furnace heated
exceedingly
, those men who
have
taken
up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego
--
killed
them
hath
the
spark
of
the
fire
.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
, fell
down bound
into
the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego
, have
fallen
down in
the midst of the burning fiery furnace --
bound
.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was
astonied
, and rose
up
in haste ,
and
spake,
and said unto
his counsellors, Did
not
we cast three men bound
into the midst of the fire? They answered and said
unto
the king, True
, O king.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king hath
been
astonished
, and hath
risen
in haste ;
he
hath
answered
and said to
his counsellors, `Have
we not
cast three men into the midst of the fire --
bound
? '
They have
answered and are
saying
to
the king, `Certainly
, O king. '
He answered and said, Lo, I see
four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form
of the fourth is like the
Son of God
.
He answered and hath
said, `
Lo, I am
seeing
four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the appearance
of the fourth `
is '
like to
a
son of the
gods
. '
Then Nebuchadnezzar came
near to the mouth
of the burning fiery furnace ,
and
spake,
and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
, ye
servants of the
most high God,
come forth, and
come hither.
Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
, came
forth
of
the midst of the fire .
Then Nebuchadnezzar hath
drawn
near to the gate
of the burning fiery furnace ;
he
hath
answered
and said, `
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego
, servants of God
Most High come forth, yea,
come ;'
then come
forth
do
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego
, from
the midst of the fire ;
And the princes
, governors
, and captains
, and the king's
counsellors ,
being
gathered
together
, saw
these men, upon
whose
bodies
the fire had
no power, nor
was
an
hair of their head singed, neither
were
their coats changed, nor
the smell of fire had
passed on them.
and gathered
together,
the satraps
, the
prefects
, and the
governors
, and the counsellors of
the
king
, are
seeing
these men, that
the fire hath
no power over
their
bodies
, and
the
hair of their head hath
not
been
singed, and
their coats have
not
changed, and
the smell of fire hath
not
passed on them.
Then
Nebuchadnezzar spake,
and said, Blessed be
the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
, who hath sent his angel
, and delivered his servants that
trusted in
him, and have
changed
the king's
word, and yielded
their bodies ,
that they might not serve nor worship
any god ,
except their own God.
Nebuchadnezzar hath
answered
and hath
said, `
Blessed `is'
the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego
, who hath sent His messenger
, and hath
delivered His servants who
trusted on
Him, and the word of
the
king
changed
, and gave
up
their bodies that they might not serve nor do
obeisance
to
any god except to
their own God.
Therefore
I
make
a decree, That every
people, nation, and language, which
speak any
thing
amiss
against
the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
, shall
be
cut
in
pieces, and their
houses
shall
be
made a dunghill :
because there is no other God that
can
deliver after
this
sort
.
And
by
me
a decree is
made
, that any
people, nation, and language, that
doth
speak erroneously
concerning
the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego
, pieces he
is
made
, and its
house
is
made a dunghill ,
because that
there is no other god who
is
able
thus
to
deliver. '
Then the king promoted
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
, in the province of Babylon.
Then the king hath
caused
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego
, to
prosper
in the province of Babylon.
