¹² Because of this, the king became ^(A)angry and extremely furious, and he gave orders to kill all the wise men of Babylon. ¹³ So the ^[a]decree was issued that the wise men be killed; and they looked for ^(B)Daniel and his friends, to ^[b]kill them.

⁶ But whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be ^(A)thrown into the middle of a ^(B)furnace of blazing fire.”

¹⁶ But he who comes against him will ^(A)do as he pleases, and ^(B)no one will be able to withstand him; he will also stay for a time in the ^[a](C)Beautiful Land, with destruction in his hand.

³⁶ “Then the king will ^(A)do as he pleases, and he will exalt himself and ^(B)boast against every god and will ^(C)speak ^[a]dreadful things against the ^(D)God of gods; and he will be successful until the ^(E)indignation is finished, because that which is ^(F)determined will be done.
