Daniel 3:4-12

4Then the herald loudly proclaimed, “You are commanded, O peoples, nations, and speakers of every language,

5that at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon (four-stringed harp), dulcimer, bagpipe, and all kinds of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.

6Whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be thrown into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire.”

7So when the people heard the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, dulcimer, bagpipe and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations, and speakers of every language fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

8At that time certain Chaldeans came forward and brought [malicious] accusations against the Jews.

9They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, live forever!

10You, O king, have made a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, dulcimer, bagpipe, and all kinds of music is to fall down and worship the golden image.

11Whoever does not fall down and worship shall be thrown into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire.

12There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon, namely Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. These men, O king, pay no attention to you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up.”
