Daniele 3:16 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 3:16

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the
king
In a mild and gentle manner, without affronting his majesty, or insulting his gods, and yet without the least degree of servile fear or fawning flattery: O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter;
about worshipping the image; we are not solicitous about a choice of words, or in what manner to draw up our answer, it is ready in our mouths; we have no need to take time and consider of this matter, and think what to say, we are at a point about it: as thou art peremptory in thy will to have thine image worshipped, we are as resolute, as determined, never to worship it; so that there is no need to spend time in a debate about it; thou art come to a conclusion, and so are we: or in this matter, about the power of our God to deliver, we are not solicitous about an answer to that; we leave him to defend himself, and his own power, against such insults upon him.

Daniele 3:16 In-Context

14 Nebucadnetsar, rivolgendosi a loro, disse: "Shadrac, Meshac, Abed-nego, lo fate deliberatamente di non servire i miei dèi e di non adorare la statua d’oro che io ho eretto?
15 Ora, se non appena udrete il suono del corno, del flauto, della cetra, della lira, del saltèro, della zampogna e d’ogni sorta di strumenti, siete pronti a prostrarvi per adorare la statua che io ho fatto, bene; ma se non l’adorate, sarete immantinente gettati in mezzo a una fornace di fuoco ardente; e qual è quel dio che vi libererà dalle mie mani?"
16 Shadrac, Meshac e Abed-nego risposero al re, dicendo: "O Nebucadnetsar, noi non abbiam bisogno di darti risposta su questo.
17 Ecco, il nostro Dio che noi serviamo, è potente da liberarci, e ci libererà dalla fornace del fuoco ardente, e dalla tua mano, o re.
18 Se no, sappi o re, che noi non serviremo i tuoi dèi e non adoreremo la statua d’oro che tu hai eretto".
