Which followeth in the third Chapter of DANIEL after this place,—_fell
down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace_.—Verse 23. That
which followeth is not in the Hebrew, to wit, _And they walked_—unto
these words. _Then Nebuchadnezzar_—verse 24.
1 And they walked in the midst of the fire, praising God, and blessing
the Lord.
2 Then Azarias stood up, and prayed on this manner; and opening his
mouth in the midst of the fire said,
3 Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers: thy name is worthy to be
praised and glorified for evermore:
4 For thou art righteous in all the things that thou hast done to us:
yea, true are all thy works, thy ways are right, and all thy judgments
truth.
5 In all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon the holy
city of our fathers, even Jerusalem, thou hast executed true judgment:
for according to truth and judgment didst thou bring all these things
upon us because of our sins.
