such may our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, and may we wholly follow thee, for there will be no shame for those who trust in thee.
18
And now with all our heart we follow thee, we fear thee and seek thy face.
19

and made the midst of the furnace like a moist whistling wind, so that the fire did not touch them at all or hurt or trouble them.
