27 And ^bthe satraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together and saw that ^cthe fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men. The hair of their heads was not singed, their cloaks were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them.

29 ^hTherefore I make a decree: Any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be ⁱtorn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins, for there is no other god who is able to rescue in this way.”
