Daniel 3:8-12 ▼

8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans have drawn near, and accused the Jews;

9 they have answered, indeed, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for all ages!

10 You, O king, have made a decree that every man who hears the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, falls down and pays respect to the golden image;

11 and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

12 There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the work of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, these men have not made of you, O king, [any] regard; your gods they are not serving, and to the golden image you have raised up—are not making worship.”
