23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
23 and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell bound into the burning fiery furnace.
23 while the fire raged around Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
23 So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, securely tied, fell into the roaring flames.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Daniel 3:23
Commentary on Daniel 3:19-27
(Read Daniel 3:19-27)
Let Nebuchadnezzar heat his furnace as hot as he can, a few minutes will finish the torment of those cast into it; but hell-fire tortures, and yet does not kill. Those who worshipped the beast and his image, have no rest, no pause, no moment free from pain, Hebrews 12:29. Could we but see into the eternal world, we should behold the persecuted believer safe from the malice of his foes, while they are exposed to the wrath of God, and tormented in unquenchable fires.
