Daniel 3:17 meaning and explanation

If the God whom we serve exists, then He is able to deliver us from the blazing fiery furnace and from your hand, O king.

Daniel 3:17, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are answering King Nebuchadnezzar, who has just threatened them with the furnace if they refuse to worship his golden statue. Their reply is not a claim that God must rescue them; verse 18 adds "even if He does not." Here they affirm that the God they serve is able to deliver them, from the fire and from the king's hand alike.
