But there are some Jews that you placed in charge of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—who pay no attention to Your Majesty's decree. They do not serve your gods and will not worship the gold statue you set up.”

This made Nebuchadnezzar absolutely furious. “Bring me Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego!” he demanded. So they were brought before the king.
14 to answer Nebuchadnezzar and to say to/for them intended Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego to/for god my not there is you to serve and to/for image gold [the] that to stand: establish not to do homage
“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, are you deliberately refusing to serve my gods and worship the gold statue I set up?” asked the king.

“Are you ready now to fall down and worship the statue I had made when you hear the sound of the musical instruments? If you don't, you will be immediately thrown into the furnace of blazing fire, and there's no god who can save you from my power!”
16 to answer Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego and to say to/for king [the] Nebuchadnezzar not to need we since this edict to/for to return: reply you
“King Nebuchadnezzar, we don't need to defend ourselves before you over this,” Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied.

This made Nebuchadnezzar so angry with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that his face twisted in rage. “Make the furnace seven times hotter than normal!” he ordered.
20 and to/for man mighty strength that in/on/with strength his to say to/for to bind to/for Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego to/for to cast to/for furnace fire [the] to burn [the]
Then he commanded some of his strongest soldiers, “Tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and throw them into the furnace of blazing fire!”
21 in/on/with then man [the] these to bind in/on/with mantle their (legging their *Qk) and helmet their and garment their and to cast to/for midst furnace fire [the] to burn [the]
So they were tied up, fully dressed in their coats, trousers, turbans, and other clothes, and thrown into the furnace of blazing fire.

Because the king's command was so harsh in making the furnace so extremely hot, the flames killed the soldiers who threw them in.
23 and man [the] these three their Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego to fall to/for midst furnace fire [the] to burn [the] to bind
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, still tied up, fell into the furnace of blazing fire.

Then King Nebuchadnezzar suddenly jumped up in amazement. “Didn't we throw three men tied up into the furnace?” he asked his advisors. “Yes, that's right, Your Majesty,” they replied.
25 to answer and to say behold me to see man four to loose to go in/on/with midst fire [the] and harm not there is in/on/with them and appearance his that (fourth [the] *Qk) be like to/for son: type of god
“Look!” he cried out. “How is it that I can see four men, not tied up, walking around in the fire and not being burned? And the fourth one looks like a god!”
26 in/on/with then to approach Nebuchadnezzar to/for door furnace fire [the] to burn [the] to answer and to say Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego servant/slave his that god [the] (Most High [the] *Qk) to go out and to come in/on/with then to go out Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego from midst fire [the]
Nebuchadnezzar went towards the door of the furnace of blazing fire. “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!” he shouted. So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire.
27 and to gather satrap [the] prefect [the] and governor [the] and counselor king [the] to see to/for man [the] these that not to rule fire [the] in/on/with body their and hair head their not to singe and mantle their not to change and smell fire not to pass on/over/away in/on/with them
The provincial governors, prefects, local governors, and the king's advisors gathered around them and saw that the fire had not harmed them. Their hair wasn't singed, their clothes weren't scorched—there wasn't even the smell of smoke!
28 to answer Nebuchadnezzar and to say to bless god their that Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego that to send angel his and to rescue to/for servant/slave his that to trust since him and word king [the] to change and to give (body their *QK) that not to serve and not to do homage to/for all god except to/for god their
Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angel and he rescued his servants who trusted in him! They disobeyed my royal command, putting their lives on the line, and refused to worship any other gods except their God.
29 and from me to set: make command that all people people and tongue that to say (neglect *QK) since god their that Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego piece to make and house his dunghill be set like/as to/for before: because that not there is god another that be able to/for to rescue like/as this
Consequently I am issuing a decree that if anyone of any nation or language speaks disrespectfully about the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego they will be torn to pieces and their houses will be destroyed. There is no other God who is able to save like this!”
30 in/on/with then king [the] to prosper to/for Shadrach Meshach and Abednego Abednego in/on/with province Babylon
Then Nebuchadnezzar promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, giving them even greater responsibilities in the province of Babylon.
