Daniel 3:4-12

4Then the herald loudly proclaimed: “To you 1the command is given, 2O peoples, nations and men of every 3language, 5that at the moment you 4hear the sound of the horn, flute, 5lyre, 6trigon, 7psaltery, bagpipe and all kinds of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up. 6But whoever does not fall down and worship shall 8immediately be 9cast into the midst of a 10furnace of blazing fire.” 7Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, 11lyre, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations and men of every 12language fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

8For this reason at that time certain 13Chaldeans came forward and 1415brought charges against the Jews. 9They responded and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king: “16O king, live forever! 10You, O king, have 17made a decree that every man who hears the sound of the horn, flute, 18lyre, trigon, psaltery, and bagpipe and all kinds of music, is to 19fall down and worship the golden image. 11But whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire. 12There are certain Jews whom you have 20appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon, namely Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. These men, O king, have disregarded you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up.”
