Daniel 3:17-19

International Standard Version

¹⁷ Your majesty, if it be his will,^[a] our God whom we serve can deliver us from the blazing fire furnace, and he will deliver us from you.^{[b] 18} But if not, rest assured, your majesty, that we won’t serve your gods, and we won’t worship the golden statue that you have set up.”

The King Orders an Execution

¹⁹ Out of control with rage, Nebuchadnezzar’s facial expression changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and he ordered^[c] that the furnace be heated seven times hotter than usual.
