Daniel 3:1–30
The Fiery Furnace
Nebuchadnezzar builds a gold statue ninety feet tall and commands all officials to bow when the music plays — on pain of being thrown into a blazing furnace. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse. Furious, the king heats the furnace seven times hotter than usual. The soldiers who throw them in are killed by the heat. The king looks in and sees four figures walking unbound in the fire — "and the fourth looks like a son of the gods."
