Daniel 3:14-18
14Nebuchadnezzar responded and said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, that you do not serve 1my gods or worship the golden image that I have set up? 15Now if you are ready, 2at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, flute, 3lyre, trigon, psaltery and bagpipe and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, very well. But if you do not worship, you will 4immediately be 5cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire; and 6what god is there who can deliver you out of my hands?”
167Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego replied to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to give you an answer concerning this matter. 178If it be so, our 9God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; 10and 11He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. 1812But even if He does not, 13let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”
