The Three Men Are Released and Promoted
26 So Nebuchadnezzar went up to the door of the blazing furnace and called out, “Shadrach! Meshach! Abednego! Servants of the Supreme God! Come out!” And they came out at once. 27 All the princes, governors, lieutenant governors, and other officials of the king gathered to look at the three men, who had not been harmed by the fire. Their hair was not singed, their clothes were not burned, and there was no smell of smoke on them.
28 The king said, “Praise the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angel and rescued these men who serve and trust him. They disobeyed my orders and risked their lives rather than bow down and worship any god except their own.

Daniel 3:26-28
English Standard Version
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace; he declared, (A)“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the (B)Most High God, come out, and come here!” Then (C)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out from the fire. 27 And the (D)satraps, the prefects, the governors, and (E)the king's counselors gathered together and saw that (F)the fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men. The hair of their heads was not singed, their (G)cloaks were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them. 28 Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, “Blessed be the God of (H)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who (I)has sent his angel and (J)delivered his servants, who (K)trusted in him, and set aside[a] the king's command, and yielded up their bodies rather than (L)serve and worship any god except their own God.
