Daniel 3:1, 8–30 (CEB)
King Nebuchadnezzar builds a huge gold statue and commands everyone to worship it. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse because they worship only God. They are reported to the king, who angrily throws them into a blazing furnace. God protects them, and they are seen walking unharmed inside the fire with a fourth figure who looks divine. They come out without even smelling like smoke. The king praises their God and decrees that no one speak against Him, honoring their faith and delivering the three men.
