Priljubljene svetopisemske vrstice iz Daniel 3

Deli

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied to the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we don’t need to give you an answer to this question. If the God we serve exists,  then he can rescue  us from the furnace of blazing fire, and he can  rescue us from the power of you, the king. But even if he does not rescue us,  we want you as king to know that we will not serve  your gods  or worship the gold statue you set up.”

He exclaimed, “Look! I see four men, not tied, walking around in the fire unharmed;  and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.” 

Nebuchadnezzar exclaimed, “Praise to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angel  , and rescued his servants who trusted in him.  They violated the king’s command and risked their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.

Therefore I issue a decree  that anyone of any people, nation, or language  who says anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will be torn limb from limb and his house made a garbage dump.  For there is no other god who is able to deliver like this.”
