33
And they said unto them, "Let that which ye have done hitherto suffice. Come forth and do according to the commandment of the king, and ye shall live."
34
But they said, "We will not come forth, neither will we do the king's commandment to profane the Sabbath day."
35
So then they engaged them in battle with all speed.
36
However they answered them not, neither cast they a stone at them nor shut up the places where they lay hidden,
37
but said, "Let us all die in our innocency. Heaven and earth shall testify for us that you put us to death wrongfully."
