²⁷ And the ^(A)satraps, the prefects, the governors, and ^(B)the king's counselors gathered together and saw that ^(C)the fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men. The hair of their heads was not singed, their ^(D)cloaks were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them. ²⁸ Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, “Blessed be the God of ^(E)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who ^(F)has sent his angel and ^(G)delivered his servants, who ^(H)trusted in him, and set aside^[a] the king's command, and yielded up their bodies rather than ^(I)serve and worship any god except their own God. ²⁹ Therefore ^(J)I make a decree: Any ^(K)people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of ^(L)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego ^(M)shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins, for there is no other god who is able to rescue in this way.”
