46. And they did not cease, those attendants of the king who had cast them in, to heat the furnace with oil, and flax, and pitch, and brush.
47. And the flame streamed forth above the furnace for forty-nine cubits.
48. And the fire erupted and burnt those of the Chaldeans within its reach near the furnace.
49. But the angel of the Lord descended with Azariah and his companions into the furnace; and he cast the flame of the fire out of the furnace.
50. And he made the middle of the furnace like the blowing of a damp wind, and the fire did not touch them, nor afflict them, nor bother them at all.
51. Then these three, as if with one voice, praised and glorified and blessed God, in the furnace, saying:
52. "Blessed are you, Lord, God of our fathers: praiseworthy, and glorious, and exalted above all forever. And blessed is the holy name of your glory: praiseworthy, and exalted above all, for all ages.
53. Blessed are you in the holy temple of your glory: praiseworthy above all and exalted above all forever.
54. Blessed are you on the throne of your kingdom: praiseworthy above all and exalted above all forever.
55. Blessed are you who beholds the abyss and sits upon the cherubims: praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.
56. Blessed are you in the firmament of heaven: praiseworthy and glorious forever.
57. All works of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever.
