3:19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with rage, and his disposition changed 2 toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He gave orders 3 to heat the furnace seven times hotter than it was normally heated. 3:20 He ordered strong 4 soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and to throw them into the furnace of blazing fire. 3:21 So those men were tied up while still wearing their cloaks, trousers, turbans, and other clothes, 5 and were thrown into the furnace 6 of blazing fire. 3:22 But since the king’s command was so urgent, and the furnace was so excessively hot, the men who escorted 7 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were killed 8 by the leaping flames. 9 3:23 But those three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell into the furnace 10 of blazing fire while still securely bound. 11
