28 Nebuchadnezzar responded and said, “Blessed be the (A)God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has (B)sent His angel and rescued His servants who put their (C)trust in Him, [a]violating the king’s command, and surrendered their bodies (D)rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. 29 Therefore I (E)make a decree that any people, nation, or population of any language that speaks anything offensive against the God of (F)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego shall be torn limb from limb and their (G)houses made a rubbish heap, because there is (H)no other god who is able to save in this way.” 30 Then the king (I)made Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego prosperous in the province of Babylon.

28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel(A) and rescued(B) his servants! They trusted(C) in him and defied the king’s command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.(D) 29 Therefore I decree(E) that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be cut into pieces and their houses be turned into piles of rubble,(F) for no other god can save(G) in this way.”

30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the province of Babylon.(H)

28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.

30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.
