Translation commentary on The Prayer of Azariah and the Song of the Three Young Men 1:45

If integrated into the book of Daniel: 3.67

Winter cold and summer heat: The names of the seasons are not in the Greek text; “bitter cold and scorching heat” in Good News Translation is just as good. New Jerusalem Bible reads simply “cold and warmth,” which is adequate.
