Daniel3:28
28. In giving some better traits in Nebuchadnezzar's character, Daniel agrees with Jr 39:11; 42:12.
changed the king's word--have made the king's attempt to coerce into obedience vain. Have set aside his word (so "alter ... word," Ezr 6:11) from regard to God. Nebuchadnezzar now admits that God's law should be obeyed, rather than his (Ac 5:29).
yielded ... bodies--namely, to the fire.
not serve--by sacrificing.
nor worship--by prostration of the body. Decision for God at last gains the respect even of the worldly (Pr 16:7).
