Daniel 3:23
"And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And these three men fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. The fire not so much as destroying what they were bound with, and much less

them; but being bound they fell, and there they lay for the present, unbound and alive; when those that cast them in were destroyed. In the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions, follow sixty seven verses, containing the song of Azariah and his companions in the furnace, which are not in the Hebrew text.
