A short but moving liturgical insertion in the story of Daniel's three friends in the fiery furnace. Azariah (Abednego) lifts a prayer of repentance from within the flames, confessing the nation's sin and pleading for mercy. The three young men then together sing the "Benedicite" — a sweeping hymn calling every part of creation, from angels to whales, to bless the Lord.
Inserted between Daniel 3:23 and 3:24 in the Greek text. Also called "the Song of the Three Holy Children" for the hymn that follows.
Prayer of Azariah is part of the Apocrypha, so the reader opens in KJVA by default — KJV doesn't include it.
Our cross-reference dataset comes from OpenBible.info (CC-BY) — a community-curated resource that covers the Old and New Testaments only. The Apocrypha isn't yet in their dataset, so we don't have an arc-map for Prayer of Azariah on this page.
Prayer of Azariah is still richly connected to the rest of Scripture — the early church quoted it, later writers built on it, and scholarly cross-reference editions (e.g. the Jerusalem Bible, the Nova Vulgata) catalogue those links. We're tracking the gap and will add Apocrypha cross-references when a permissive open dataset becomes available.
