24 Flame shot out of the furnace to a height of more than seventy feet,
25 spreading out and burning the Babylonians who stood near the furnace.
26 But the Lord’s angel came down among Azariah and his friends and waved the fiery flames out of the furnace.
27 He made the middle of the furnace seem like a cool breeze was blowing through it. The fire didn’t touch them at all; it didn’t hurt or upset them.
28 Then with one voice the three began singing hymns, praising and blessing God right there in the furnace. They said:
29 Blessed are you,Lord God of our ancestors.You are worthy of praise and raised high above all others forever.Blessed is your gloriousand holy reputation,worthy of praise and raised high above all others forever.
30 Blessed are you in your glorious,holy temple,worthy of hymns and honoredabove all others forever.
