15 Now, if you? are ready, at that time when you? hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, and pipe, and all kinds of music, then you? fall down and give homage to the image that I have made! And if you? will not give homage in it, immediately you? shall be cast into the midst of a burning furnace of fire—and who is the god who will deliver you? from my hands?” 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered, and said to the king: “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to answer you in this matter. 17 If our God, whom we serve, exists, He is able to deliver us from the burning furnace of fire. From your hand, O king, He will deliver us. 18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that to your gods we are not serving, and to the image of gold that you have set up we will not give homage.” Daniel 3:15-18, Berean Literal Bible.
