Bible. Daniel
3:30. And we have not hearkened to thy commandments, nor have we
observed nor done as thou hadst commanded us, that it might go well with
us.
3:31. Wherefore, all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing
that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgment:
3:32. And thou hast delivered us into the hands of our enemies that are
unjust, and most wicked, and prevaricators, and to a king unjust, and
most wicked beyond all that are upon the earth.
3:33. And now we cannot open our mouths: we are become a shame, and a
reproach to thy servants, and to them that worship thee.
3:34. Deliver us not up for ever, we beseech thee, for thy name's sake,
and abolish not thy covenant.
3:35. And take not away thy mercy from us, for the sake of Abraham, thy
beloved, and Isaac, thy servant, and Israel, thy holy one:
3:36. To whom thou hast spoken, promising that thou wouldst multiply
their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea
shore.
3:37. For we, O Lord, are diminished more than any nation, and are
brought low in all the earth this day for our sins.
3:38. Neither is there at this time prince, or leader, or prophet, or

lambs: so let our sacrifice be made in thy sight this day, that it may
please thee: for there is no confusion to them that trust in thee.
3:41. And now we follow thee with all our heart, and we fear thee, and

3:42. Put us not to confusion, but deal with us according to thy
meekness, and according to the multitude of thy mercies.
3:43. And deliver us, according to thy wonderful works, and give glory
to thy name, O Lord:
3:44. And let all them be confounded that shew evils to thy servants,
let them be confounded in all thy might, and let their strength be
broken:
3:45. And let them know that thou art the Lord, the only God, and
glorious over all the world.
3:46. Now the king's servants that had cast them in, ceased not to heat
the furnace with brimstone and tow, and pitch, and dry sticks,
3:47. And the flame mounted up above the furnace nine and forty cubits:
3:48. And it broke forth, and burnt such of the Chaldeans as it found
near the furnace.
3:49. But the angel of the Lord went down with Azarias and his
companions into the furnace: and he drove the flame of the fire out of
the furnace,
3:50. And made the midst of the furnace like the blowing of a wind
bringing dew, and the fire touched them not at all, nor troubled them,
