我儕見獄禁閉悉固、守者立於門、啟時、內不見人、

我儕見獄、鍵閉甚固、守者立於門外、啟時、闐其無人、

我儕見獄門鍵閉甚固、守者立於門外、既啟、不見人、

『吾儕見獄門緊閉、守者外邏；啟之、則不睹一人。』

The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.

I called on Your name, O Lord, From the lowest pit.You have heard my voice:“ Do not hide Your ear From my sighing, from my cry for help.”You drew near on the day I called on You, And said,“ Do not fear!”O Lord, You have pleaded the case for my soul; You have redeemed my life.

and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.There are certain Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; these men, O king, have not paid due regard to you. They do not serve your gods or worship the gold image which you have set up.”Then Nebuchadnezzar, in rage and fury, gave the command to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. So they brought these men before the king.Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying to them,“ Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the gold image which I have set up?Now if you are ready at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, and you fall down and worship the image which I have made, good! But if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. And who is the god who will deliver you from my hands?”Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king,“ O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.”Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. He spoke and commanded that they heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.And he commanded certain mighty men of valor who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and cast them into the burning fiery furnace.Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.Therefore, because the king’s command was urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego.And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors,“ Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?” They answered and said to the king,“ True, O king.”“ Look!” he answered,“ I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”

Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, When the Lord has not commanded it?

There is no wisdom or understanding Or counsel against the Lord.

He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision.

My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.”Now the king was exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no injury whatever was found on him, because he believed in his God.And the king gave the command, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions— them, their children, and their wives; and the lions overpowered them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they ever came to the bottom of the den.

When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,saying,“ Tell them,‘ His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.’And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will appease him and make you secure.”So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said,

saying,“ Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said,‘ After three days I will rise.’Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people,‘ He has risen from the dead.’ So the last deception will be worse than the first.”Pilate said to them,“ You have a guard; go your way, make it as secure as you know how.”So they went and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone and setting the guard.
