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。』

Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

I called on your name, Yahweh, out of the lowest dungeon.You heard my voice:“ Don’t hide your ear from my sighing, and my cry.”You came near in the day that I called on you. You said,“ Don’t be afraid.”Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul. You have redeemed my life.

and whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have not respected you. They don’t serve your gods, and don’t worship the golden image which you have set up.”Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought. Then these men were brought before the king.Nebuchadnezzar answered them,“ Is it on purpose, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you don’t serve my god, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?Now if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, good; but if you don’t worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the middle of a burning fiery furnace. Who is that god that will deliver you out of my hands?”Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king,“ Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up.”Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the form of his appearance was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.He commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.Then these men were bound in their pants, their tunics, and their mantles, and their other clothes, and were cast into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste. He spoke and said to his counselors,“ Didn’t we cast three men bound into the middle of the fire?” They answered the king,“ True, O king.”He answered,“ Look, I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are unharmed. The appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”

Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn’t command it?

There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Yahweh.

He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me; because as before him innocence was found in me; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.”Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.The king commanded, 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 mauled them, and broke all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.

When they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of silver to the soldiers,saying,“ Say that his disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and make you free of worry.”So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until today.

Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hidden, and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.

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

saying,“ Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive:‘ After three days I will rise again.’Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people,‘ He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”Pilate said to them,“ You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
