In giving some better traits in Nebuchadnezzar's character, Daniel agrees with Jer 39:11; Jer 42:12. changed the king's word--have made the king's attempt to coerce into obedience vain. Have set aside his word (so "alter . . . word," Ezr 6:11) from regard to God. Nebuchadnezzar now admits that God's law should be obeyed, rather than his (Act 5:29). yielded . . . bodies--namely, to the fire. not serve--by sacrificing. nor worship--by prostration of the body. Decision for God at last gains the respect even of the worldly (Pro 16:7).
