ULT He answered and said, “Look! I see four men unbound walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt. The appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”

UST Nebuchadnezzar shouted, “ Look! I see four men in the fire! They have no ropes on them, they are walking around, and the flames are not hurting them! And the fourth man looks like a divine being!”


BSB § “Look!” he exclaimed. “I see four men, unbound and unharmed, walking around in the fire—and the fourth looks like a son of the gods![fn]

FBV “Look!” he cried out. “How is it that I can see four men, not tied up, walking around in the fire and not being burned? And the fourth one looks like a god!”[fn]


3:25 “A god.” This expression on the lips of a pagan king surely referred to his own religious beliefs. The actual term is “son of god (s),” however in Hebrew “son of” often simply refers to the actual person, not the son (see for example 2:25 which in fact refers to the “sons of the captives,” etc). However, in verse 28 Nebuchadnezzar identifies him as an angel.

T4T Nebuchadnezzar shouted, “Look! I see four men in the fire! They have no ropes on them, they are walking around, and the flames are not hurting them! And the fourth man looks like a divine being!”

LEB He answered,[fn] saying, “Look, I see four men unbound walking in the midst of the fire and there is no damage to them, and the[fn] appearance of the fourthman resembles the son of a god.”
