¹⁹ Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.

¹³ Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.

²⁴ Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

²⁴ Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

²⁸ Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

³³ When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

⁴ And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

⁵ But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

⁶ Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.

³ A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.

⁴ Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?

¹⁰ Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
