³⁰ Then the king hath caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to prosper in the province of Babylon.

⁴⁹ And Daniel hath sought from the king, and he hath appointed over the work of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and Daniel `is' in the gate of the king.

³⁰ `Therefore -- the affirmation of Jehovah, God of Israel -- I certainly said, Thy house and the house of thy father, do walk up and down before Me to the age; and now -- the affirmation of Jehovah -- Far be it from Me! for he who is honouring Me, I honour, and those despising Me, are lightly esteemed.

³ And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.

¹⁴ Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him -- I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.

²⁶ if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me -- honour him will the Father.

³¹ What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God `is' for us, who `is' against us?
