Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 3:19

19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; therefore he spake and commanded, that they should heat the furnace one seven times hotter than it was wont to be heat .

Which appeared in his face, and in his words, taking this answer for the highest affront and provocation, which as the case stood he could not bear, the pride of his heart made his indignation boil over, and therefore he made the Furnace [illegible: 2 letters] ven times hotter.

Tyrants would burn the people of God in Hell if they could.
