King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Nebuchadnezzar[H5020] the king[H4430] made[H5648] an image[H6755] of[H1768] gold,[H1722] whose height[H7314] was threescore[H8361] cubits,[H521] and the breadth[H6613] thereof six[H8353] cubits:[H521] he set it up[H6966] in the plain[H1236] of Dura,[H1757] in the province[H4083] of Babylon.[H895]

2. Then Nebuchadnezzar[H5020] the king[H4430] sent[H7972] to gather together[H3673] the princes,[H324] the governors,[H5460] and the captains,[H6347] the judges,[H148] the treasurers,[H1411] the counselors,[H1884] the sheriffs,[H8614] and all[H3606] the rulers[H7984] of the provinces,[H4083] to come[H858] to the dedication[H2597] of the image[H6755] which[H1768] Nebuchadnezzar[H5020] the king[H4430] had set up.[H6966]

3. Then[H116] the princes,[H324] the governors,[H5460] and captains,[H6347] the judges,[H148] the treasurers,[H1411] the counselors,[H1884] the sheriffs,[H8614] and all[H3606] the rulers[H7984] of the provinces,[H4083] were gathered together[H3673] unto the dedication[H2597] of the image[H6755] that[H1768] Nebuchadnezzar[H5020] the king[H4430] had set up;[H6966] and they stood[H6966] before[H6903] the image[H6755] that[H1768] Nebuchadnezzar[H5020] had set up.[H6966]

4. Then a herald[H3744] cried[H7123] aloud,[H2429] To you it is commanded,[H560] O people,[H5972] nations,[H524] and languages,[H3961]

5. That at what[H1768] time[H5732] ye hear[H8086] the sound[H7032] of the cornet,[H7162] flute,[H4953] harp,[H7030] sackbut,[H5443] psaltery,[H6460] dulcimer,[H5481] and all[H3606] kinds[H2178] of music,[H2170] ye fall down[H5308] and worship[H5457] the golden[H1722] image[H6755] that[H1768] Nebuchadnezzar[H5020] the king[H4430] hath set up: [H6966]

6. And whoso[H4479] [H1768] falleth not down[H5308] [H3809] and worshipeth[H5457] shall the same hour[H8160] be cast[H7412] into the midst[H1459] of a burning[H3345] fiery[H5135] furnace.[H861]

7. Therefore[H3606] [H6903] [H1836] at that time,[H2166] when[H1768] all[H3606] the people[H5972] heard[H8086] the sound[H7032] of the cornet,[H7162] flute,[H4953] harp,[H7030] sackbut,[H5443] psaltery,[H6460] and all[H3606] kinds[H2178] of music,[H2170] all[H3606] the people,[H5972] the nations,[H524] and the languages,[H3961] fell down[H5308] and worshiped[H5457] the golden[H1722] image[H6755] that[H1768] Nebuchadnezzar[H5020] the king[H4430] had set up.[H6966]

8. Wherefore[H3606] [H6903] [H1836] at that time[H2166] certain[H1400] Chaldeans[H3779] came near,[H7127] and accused[H399] [H7170] the Jews.[H1768] [H3062]

9. They spoke[H6032] and said[H560] to the king[H4430] Nebuchadnezzar,[H5020] O king,[H4430] live[H2418] forever.[H5957]

10. Thou,[H607] O king,[H4430] hast made[H7761] a decree,[H2942] that[H1768] every[H3606] man[H606] that[H1768] shall hear[H8086] the sound[H7032] of the cornet,[H7162] flute,[H4953] harp,[H7030] sackbut,[H5443] psaltery,[H6460] and dulcimer,[H5481] and all[H3606] kinds[H2178] of music,[H2170] shall fall down[H5308] and worship[H5457] the golden[H1722] image: [H6755]

11. And whoso[H4479] [H1768] falleth not down[H5308] [H3809] and worshipeth,[H5457] that he should be cast[H7412] into the midst[H1459] of a burning[H3345] fiery[H5135] furnace.[H861]

12. There are[H383] certain[H1400] Jews[H3062] whom[H1768] thou hast set[H4483] over[H5922] the affairs[H5673] of the province[H4083] of Babylon,[H895] Shadrach,[H7715] Meshach,[H4336] and Abed-nego;[H5665] these[H479] men,[H1400] O king,[H4430] have not[H3809] regarded[H7761] [H2942] [H5922] thee: they serve[H6399] not[H3809] thy gods,[H426] nor[H3809] worship[H5457] the golden[H1722] image[H6755] which[H1768] thou hast set up.[H6966]

13. Then[H116] Nebuchadnezzar[H5020] in his rage[H7266] and fury[H2528] commanded[H560] to bring[H858] Shadrach,[H7715] Meshach,[H4336] and Abed-nego.[H5665] Then[H116] they brought[H858] these[H479] men[H1400] before[H6925] the king.[H4430]

14. Nebuchadnezzar[H5020] spoke[H6032] and said[H560] unto them, Is it true,[H6656] O Shadrach,[H7715] Meshach,[H4336] and Abed-nego,[H5665] do[H383] not[H3809] ye serve[H6399] my gods,[H426] nor[H3809] worship[H5457] the golden[H1722] image[H6755] which[H1768] I have set up?[H6966]

15. Now[H3705] if[H2006] ye be[H383] ready[H6263] that[H1768] at what[H1768] time[H5732] ye hear[H8086] the sound[H7032] of the cornet,[H7162] flute,[H4953] harp,[H7030] sackbut,[H5443] psaltery,[H6460] and dulcimer,[H5481] and all[H3606] kinds[H2178] of music,[H2170] ye fall down[H5308] and worship[H5457] the image[H6755] which[H1768] I have made;[H5648] well: but if[H2006] ye worship[H5457] not,[H3809] ye shall be cast[H7412] the same hour[H8160] into the midst[H1459] of a burning[H3345] fiery[H5135] furnace;[H861] and who[H4479] is that[H1932] God[H426] that[H1768] shall deliver[H7804] you out of[H4481] my hands?[H3028]

16. Shadrach,[H7715] Meshach,[H4336] and Abed-nego,[H5665] answered[H6032] and said[H560] to the king,[H4430] O Nebuchadnezzar,[H5020] we[H586] are not[H3809] careful[H2818] to answer[H8421] thee in[H5922] this[H1836] matter.[H6600]

17. If[H2006] it be[H383] so, our God[H426] whom[H1768] we[H586] serve[H6399] is able[H3202] to deliver[H7804] us from[H4481] the burning[H3345] fiery[H5135] furnace,[H861] and he will deliver[H7804] us out of[H4481] thine hand,[H3028] O king.[H4430]

18. But if[H2006] not,[H3809] be[H1934] it known[H3046] unto thee, O king,[H4430] that[H1768] we will[H383] not[H3809] serve[H6399] thy gods,[H426] nor[H3809] worship[H5457] the golden[H1722] image[H6755] which[H1768] thou hast set up.[H6966]

19. Then[H116] was Nebuchadnezzar[H5020] full[H4391] of fury,[H2528] and the form[H6755] of his visage[H600] was changed[H8133] against[H5922] Shadrach,[H7715] Meshach,[H4336] and Abed-nego:[H5665] therefore he spoke,[H6032] and commanded[H560] that they should heat[H228] the furnace[H861] one[H2298] seven times[H7655] more[H5922] than[H1768] it was wont[H2370] to be heated.[H228]

20. And he commanded[H560] the most mighty[H1401] [H2429] men[H1400] that[H1768] were in his army[H2429] to bind[H3729] Shadrach,[H7715] Meshach,[H4336] and Abed-nego,[H5665] and to cast[H7412] them into the burning[H3345] fiery[H5135] furnace.[H861]

21. Then[H116] these[H479] men[H1400] were bound[H3729] in their coats,[H5622] their hosen,[H6361] and their hats,[H3737] and their other garments,[H3831] and were cast[H7412] into the midst[H1459] of the burning[H3345] fiery[H5135] furnace.[H861]

22. Therefore[H3606] [H6903] [H1836] because[H4481] [H1768] the king's[H4430] commandment[H4406] was urgent,[H2685] and the furnace[H861] exceeding[H3493] hot,[H228] the flame[H7631] of[H1768] the fire[H5135] slew[H6992] those[H479] men[H1400] that[H1768] took up[H5267] Shadrach,[H7715] Meshach,[H4336] and Abed-nego.[H5665]

23. And these[H479] three[H8532] men,[H1400] Shadrach,[H7715] Meshach,[H4336] and Abed-nego,[H5665] fell down[H5308] bound[H3729] into the midst[H1459] of the burning[H3345] fiery[H5135] furnace.[H861]

24. Then[H116] Nebuchadnezzar[H5020] the king[H4430] was astonished,[H8429] and rose up[H6966] in haste,[H927] and spoke,[H6032] and said[H560] unto his counselors,[H1907] Did not[H3809] we cast[H7412] three[H8532] men[H1400] bound[H3729] into the midst[H1459] of the fire?[H5135] They answered[H6032] and said[H560] unto the king,[H4430] True,[H3330] O king.[H4430]

25. He answered[H6032] and said,[H560] Lo,[H1888] I[H576] see[H2370] four[H703] men[H1400] loose,[H8271] walking[H1981] in the midst[H1459] of the fire,[H5135] and they have[H383] no[H3809] hurt;[H2257] and the form[H7299] of[H1768] the fourth[H7244] is like[H1821] the Son[H1247] of God.[H426]

26. Then[H116] Nebuchadnezzar[H5020] came near[H7127] to the mouth[H8651] of the burning[H3345] fiery[H5135] furnace,[H861] and spoke,[H6032] and said,[H560] Shadrach,[H7715] Meshach,[H4336] and Abed-nego,[H5665] ye servants[H5649] of[H1768] the most high[H5943] God,[H426] come forth,[H5312] and come[H858] hither. Then[H116] Shadrach,[H7715] Meshach,[H4336] and Abed-nego,[H5665] came forth[H5312] of[H4481] the midst[H1459] of the fire.[H5135]

27. And the princes,[H324] governors,[H5460] and captains,[H6347] and the king's[H4430] counselors,[H1907] being gathered together,[H3673] saw[H2370] these[H479] men,[H1400] upon whose[H1768] bodies[H1655] the fire[H5135] had no power,[H7981] [H3809] nor[H3809] was a hair[H8177] of their head[H7217] singed,[H2761] neither[H3809] were their coats[H5622] changed,[H8133] nor[H3809] the smell[H7382] of fire[H5135] had passed[H5709] on them.

28. Then Nebuchadnezzar[H5020] spoke,[H6032] and said,[H560] Blessed[H1289] be the God[H426] of[H1768] Shadrach,[H7715] Meshach,[H4336] and Abed-nego,[H5665] who[H1768] hath sent[H7972] his angel,[H4398] and delivered[H7804] his servants[H5649] that[H1768] trusted[H7365] in[H5922] him, and have changed[H8133] the king's[H4430] word,[H4406] and yielded[H3052] their bodies,[H1655] that[H1768] they might not[H3809] serve[H6399] nor[H3809] worship[H5457] any[H3606] god,[H426] except[H3861] their own God.[H426]

29. Therefore I make[H4481] [H7761] a decree,[H2942] That[H1768] every[H3606] people,[H5972] nation,[H524] and language,[H3961] which[H1768] speak[H560] any thing amiss[H7955] against[H5922] the God[H426] of[H1768] Shadrach,[H7715] Meshach,[H4336] and Abed-nego,[H5665] shall be cut[H5648] in pieces,[H1917] and their houses[H1005] shall be made[H7739] a dunghill:[H5122] because[H3606] [H6903] [H1768] there is[H383] no[H3809] other[H321] God[H426] that[H1768] can[H3202] deliver[H5338] after this sort.[H1836]

30. Then[H116] the king[H4430] promoted[H6744] Shadrach,[H7715] Meshach,[H4336] and Abed-nego,[H5665] in the province[H4083] of Babylon.[H895]
