30 Then the king [b]promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego in the province of Babylon.

28 Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, “Blessed be the God of (A)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who (B)has sent his angel and (C)delivered his servants, who (D)trusted in him, and set aside[a] the king's command, and yielded up their bodies rather than (E)serve and worship any god except their own God. 29 Therefore (F)I make a decree: Any (G)people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of (H)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (I)shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins, for there is no other god who is able to rescue in this way.” 30 Then the king promoted (J)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in (K)the province of Babylon.
