Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and stood up in haste; he said to his high officials, "Was it not three men we cast bound into the midst of the fire?" They replied to the king, "Certainly, O king."

He said, "Look! I see four men loosed and ^(ab)walking about in the midst of the fire ^[v]without harm, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the ^(ac)gods!"

Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the furnace of blazing fire; he responded and said, "Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, come out, you servants of the ^(ad)Most High God, and come here!" Then Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego ^(ae)came out of the midst of the fire.

The ^(af)satraps, the prefects, the governors and the king's high officials gathered around and saw in regard to these men that the ^(ag)fire had no ^[w]effect on ^[x]the bodies of these men nor was the hair of their head singed, nor were their ^[y](ah)trousers ^[z]damaged, nor had the smell of fire even come upon them.
