23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: (A)‘To the unknown god.’ (B)What therefore you worship (C)as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24 (D)The God who made the world and everything in it, being (E)Lord of heaven and earth, (F)does not live in temples made by man,[a] 25 nor is he served by human hands, (G)as though he needed anything, since he himself (H)gives to all mankind (I)life and breath and everything. 26 And (J)he made from one man every nation of mankind to live (K)on all the face of the earth, (L)having determined allotted periods and (M)the boundaries of their dwelling place, 27 (N)that they should seek God, (O)and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. (P)Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, 28 for

(Q)“‘In him we live and move and have our being’;[b]

as even some of (R)your own poets have said,

“‘For we are indeed his offspring.’[c]

29 (S)Being then God's offspring, (T)we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. 30 (U)The times of ignorance (V)God overlooked, but (W)now he (X)commands all people everywhere to repent, 31 because he has fixed (Y)a day on which (Z)he will judge the world (AA)in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and (AB)of this he has given assurance to all (AC)by raising him from the dead.”

23 but you have lifted up yourself against (A)the Lord of heaven. And (B)the vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. (C)And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, (D)but the God in whose hand is your breath, and (E)whose are all your ways, (F)you have not honored.

24 “Then from his presence (G)the hand was sent, and this writing was inscribed. 25 And this is the writing that was inscribed: Mene, Mene, Tekel, and Parsin. 26 This is the interpretation of the matter: Mene, God has numbered[a] the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; 27 Tekel, (H)you have been weighed[b] in the balances and found wanting; 28 Peres, your kingdom is divided and given to (I)the Medes and (J)Persians.”[c]

29 Then (K)Belshazzar gave the command, and Daniel (L)was clothed with purple, a chain of gold was put around his neck, and a proclamation was made about him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

16 (A)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. 17 If this be so, (B)our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.[a] 18 But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”

19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was (C)filled with fury, and the expression of his face (D)was changed against (E)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He ordered the furnace heated seven times more than it was usually heated. 20 And he ordered some of the mighty men of his army (F)to bind (G)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. 21 Then these men were (H)bound in their cloaks, their tunics,[b] their hats, and their other garments, and they were thrown into the burning fiery furnace. 22 Because the king's order was (I)urgent and the furnace overheated, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up (J)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. 23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell (K)bound into the burning fiery furnace.

24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was (L)astonished and rose up (M)in haste. He declared to his (N)counselors, “Did we not cast three men (O)bound into the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.” 25 He answered and said, “But I see four men unbound, (P)walking in the midst of the fire, and they (Q)are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like (R)a son of the gods.”

26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace; he declared, (S)“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the (T)Most High God, come out, and come here!” Then (U)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out from the fire. 27 And the (V)satraps, the prefects, the governors, and (W)the king's counselors gathered together and saw that (X)the fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men. The hair of their heads was not singed, their (Y)cloaks were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them. 28 Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, “Blessed be the God of (Z)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who (AA)has sent his angel and (AB)delivered his servants, who (AC)trusted in him, and set aside[c] the king's command, and yielded up their bodies rather than (AD)serve and worship any god except their own God.
