Don’t be excessively righteous, and don’t be overly wise. Why should you destroy yourself?
Don’t be excessively wicked, and don’t be foolish. Why should you die before your time?
But since the king's command was so urgent, and the furnace was so excessively hot, the men who escorted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were killed by the leaping flames.
