And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
Nor was an hair of their head singed - (Luke 12:7, "Even the very hairs of your head are all numbered;" Luke 21:18, "There shall not an hair of your head perish"). Upon whose bodies the fire had no power - fulfilling Isaiah 43:2; cf. Hebrews 11:34, "Who through faith ... quenched the violence of fire." "Our God" alone is a "consuming fire" (Hebrews 12:29).
Nor the smell of fire had passed on them - (cf. spiritually, "Abstain from all appearance of evil," 1 Thessalonians 5:22). The believer is careful, by the Spirit's help, not merely to avoid evil itself, but even the slightest odour of it (Romans 12:17; Romans 14:16, "Let not your good be evil spoken of"). He with fear not only pulls out of the fire of the pit the body, but also hates the garment spotted by the flesh (Jude 1:23).
