20 E mandou aos homens mais fortes que havia em seu exército, que atassem a Sadraque, Mesaque, e Abednego, para lançá-los na fornalha de fogo ardente.

21 Então estes homens foram atados com suas capas, suas calças, seus turbantes, e suas vestes, e foram lançados dentro da fornalha de fogo ardente.

22 E visto que a palavra do rei era urgente, e a fornalha estava muitíssimo quente, a chama do fogo matou aqueles homens que tinham levantado a Sadraque, Mesaque, e Abednego.

23 E estes três homens, Sadraque, Mesaque, e Abednego, caíram atados dentro da fornalha de fogo ardente.

24 Então o rei Nabucodonosor se espantou, e se levantou depressa, então perguntou aos seus conselheiros: Não lançamos três homens atados dentro do fogo? Eles responderam ao rei: É verdade, ó rei.
