| Under threat of death, everyone bowed down before the king's image, except Daniel's three friends: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. |
| It may have seemed to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego that it wasn't really an advantage to be so strict in their diet and in their lifestyle. |
| They may have even thought evil of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego for standing, when everyone else was kneeling and worshiping the image. |
| Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego must have felt quite alone on the plain of Dura when they remained standing while everyone else was bowing down. |
| Can you imagine what it must have been like for Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to fall down bound in the furnace only to find themselves unhurt by it. |
| Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego felt no pain in the fiery furnace. |
