Daniel 3,22

20 Han befalte noen av de sterkeste soldatene i hæren sin å binde Sjadrak, Mesjak og Abed-Nego og kaste dem i den brennende ovnen.

21 Så disse mennene, iført bukser, kapper, turbaner og andre klær, ble bundet og kastet i den brennende ovnen.

Kongens befaling var så presserende og ovnen så varm at flammene fra ilden drepte soldatene som tok opp Sjadrak, Mesjak og Abed-Nego,

23 og disse tre mennene, Sjadrak, Mesjak og Abed-Nego, falt bundet inn i den brennende ovnen.

24 Da ble kong Nebukadnesar forbløffet og reiste seg i hast. Han spurte sine rådgivere: "Kastet vi ikke tre menn bundet inn i ilden?" De svarte: "Visst, konge."

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
