The burning fiery furnace
"And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burninging fiery furnace
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied and rose up in haste, and spake and said unto his counsellors. Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True O King.
He answered and said , Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire and they have no hurt ; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth and come hither.
Then Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came forth of the midst of the fire."
Daniel Chapter III.
