Daniel 3:14-18
14NebuchadnezzarH5020 respondedH6032 and saidH560 to them, “Is it trueH6656, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665, that you doH383 not serveH6399 1my godsH426 or worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 that I have setH6966 up? 15NowH3705 ifH2006 you are readyH6263, 2at the momentH5732 you hearH8086 the soundH7032 of the hornH7162, fluteH4953, 3lyreH7030, trigonH5443, psalteryH6460 and bagpipeH5481 and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musicH2170, to fallH5308 downH5308 and worshipH5457 the imageH6755 that I have madeH5648, very well. But ifH2006 you do not worshipH5457, you will 4immediatelyH8160 be 5castH7412 into the midstH1459 of a furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135; and 6whatH4479 godH426 is there whoH1768 can deliverH7804 you out of my handsH3028?”
167ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665 repliedH6032 to the kingH4430, “O NebuchadnezzarH5020, we do not needH2818 to giveH8421 you an answerH6600 concerningH5922 thisH1836 matterH6600. 178IfH2006 it be so, our 9GodH426 whomH1768 we serveH6399 is ableH3202 to deliverH7804 us from the furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135; 10and 11He will deliverH7804 us out of your handH3028, O kingH4430. 1812But even ifH2006 He does not, 13let it be knownH3046 to you, O kingH4430, that we are not going to serveH6399 your godsH426 or worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 that you have setH6966 up.”
