23
Now the king's servants who threw them in did not cease feeding the furnace fires with naphtha, pitch, tow, and brush.
24
And the flame streamed out above the furnace forty-nine cubits,
25
and it broke through and burned those of the Chaldeans whom it caught about the furnace.
26
But the angel of the Lord came down into the furnace to be with Azariah and his companions, and drove the fiery flame out of the furnace,
27
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.
