In Daniel 3:13, the feminine singular absolute noun occurs as Nebuchadnezzar commands that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought before him; the APB renders the verse with “in rage and fury.” In Daniel 3:19, the same noun form occurs when Nebuchadnezzar’s face changes against the three men and he commands increased heating of the furnace; the APB renders the verse “was filled with fury.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the anger with “rage and fury” in Daniel 3:13 and “was filled with fury” in Daniel 3:19. These phrases show the verse-level presentation rather than a precise token-by-token rendering.
