Daniel 3:4-12

4Then the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O peoplesH5972, nationsH524, and languages, 5that at what timeH5732 ye hearH8086 the sound of the cornet, fluteH4953, harpH6460, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kindsH2178 of music, ye fallH5308 downH5308 and worship the golden imageH6755 that NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 hath setH6966 up; 6and whoso falleth not downH5308 and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midstH1459 of a burning fiery furnaceH861. 7Therefore at that timeH2166, when all the peoplesH5972 heardH8086 the sound of the cornet, fluteH4953, harpH6460, sackbut, psaltery, and all kindsH2178 of music, all the peoplesH5972, the nationsH524, and the languages, fellH5308 downH5308 and worshipped the golden imageH6755 that NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 had setH6966 up.

8Wherefore at that timeH2166 certain ChaldeansH3779 came near, and brought accusation against the JewsH3062. 9They answered and saidH560 to NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430, O kingH4430, liveH2418 for everH5957. 10Thou, O kingH4430, hast madeH7761 a decreeH2942, that every manH606 that shall hearH8086 the sound of the cornet, fluteH4953, harpH6460, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kindsH2178 of music, shall fallH5308 downH5308 and worship the golden imageH6755; 11and whoso falleth not downH5308 and worshippeth, shall be cast into the midstH1459 of a burning fiery furnaceH861. 12There are certain JewsH3062 whom thou hast appointedH4483 over the affairs of the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895: ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665; these menH1400, O kingH4430, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy godsH426, nor worship the golden imageH6755 which thou hast setH6966 up.
