"Your eyes will see Jerusalem: A tent which will not be folded; its stakes will never be pulled up" (Isaiah 33:20).
Different versions of the Bible have differing words for verse 13. The Hebrew says “a watcher and a holy one descend.” There are three references to ‘watchers’ in the book of Daniel, and they are good ‘Watchers’ as opposed to the rebellious“Watchers” who descended from heaven in the days of Noah and had children with the daughters of men. Scholars believe these ‘watchers, holy ones’ that Nebuchadnezzar sees shows the influence of Babylonian gods recognizing the God of Israel as the Most High.
The “Prayer of the Three Holy Boys” from the Greek Septuagint is found after Daniel 3:23, but removed from modern-day Bibles. The “Prayer of the Three Holy Boys” is accepted as canonical scripture by Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christians and is included in the 80-book Protestant Bibles in the section of the Apocrypha. Article VI of the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England has it listed as non-canonical (but still, with the other Apocryphal texts, “the Church doth read for example of life and instruction of manners”). The Belgic Confession of the Reformed Churches teaches that “The church may certainly read these [Apocryphal] books and learn from them as far as they agree with the canonical books.”
