28 Then the three, as with one mouth, praised and glorified and blessed God in the furnace, saying: 29 “Blessed art thou, O Lord, God of our fathers, and to be praised and highly exalted for ever; 30 And blessed is thy glorious, holy name and to be highly praised and highly exalted for ever; 31 Blessed art thou in the temple of thy holy glory and to be extolled and highly glorified for ever. 32 Blessed art thou, who sittest upon cherubim and lookest upon the deeps, and to be praised and highly exalted for ever. 33 Blessed art thou upon the throne of thy kingdom and to be extolled and highly exalted for ever. 34 Blessed art thou in the firmament of heaven and to be sung and glorified for ever. 35 “Bless the Lord, all works of the Lord, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 36 Bless the Lord, you heavens, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 37 Bless the Lord, you angels of the Lord, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 38 Bless the Lord, all waters above the heaven, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 39 Bless the Lord, all powers, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 40 Bless the Lord, sun and moon, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 41 Bless the Lord, stars of heaven, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 42 Bless the Lord, all rain and dew, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 43 Bless the Lord, all winds, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 44 Bless the Lord, fire and heat, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 45 Bless the Lord, winter cold and summer heat, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 46 Bless the Lord, dews and snows, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 47 Bless the Lord, nights and days, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 48 Bless the Lord, light and darkness, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 49 Bless the Lord, ice and cold, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 50 Bless the Lord, frosts and snows, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 51 Bless the Lord, lightnings and clouds, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 52 Let the earth bless the Lord; let it sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 53 Bless the Lord, mountains and hills, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 54 Bless the Lord, all things that grow on the earth, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 55 Bless the Lord, you springs, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 56 Bless the Lord, seas and rivers, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 57 Bless the Lord, you whales and all creatures that move in the waters, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 58 Bless the Lord, all birds of the air, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 59 Bless the Lord, all beasts and cattle, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 60 Bless the Lord, you sons of men, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 61 Bless the Lord, O Israel, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 62 Bless the Lord, you priests of the Lord, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 63 Bless the Lord, you servants of the Lord, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 64 Bless the Lord, spirits and souls of the righteous, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 65 Bless the Lord, you who are holy and humble in heart, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever. 66 Bless the Lord, Hanani′ah, Azari′ah, and Mish′ael, sing praise to him and highly exalt him for ever; for he has rescued us from Hades and saved us from the hand of death, and delivered us from the midst of the burning fiery furnace; from the midst of the fire he has delivered us. 67 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy endures for ever. 68 Bless him, all who worship the Lord, the God of gods, sing praise to him and give thanks to him, for his mercy endures for ever.”[e]

The “Prayer of Azariah” isn’t Divinely-inspired Scripture either. Martin Luther said, “Apocrypha—that is, books which are not regarded as equal to the holy Scriptures, and yet are profitable and good to read.”

Are you just spamming or do you have a point in posting these passages? What spurred my post to you of II Corinthians 10 was your bigoted and boastful claim to fishtank that, “The spiritual poverty of Evangelicalism is in stark contrast to the spiritual wealth of any Eastern Orthodox Church.” Being as you cannot possibly know what is spiritually in the hearts of those NOT EO or RC, Paul’s admonition is appropriate. Those that measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, are not wise.

“Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.” (II Cor. 10:17,18)
