Daniel 3:8-18

8For thisH1836 reasonH3606H6903 at that timeH2166 certainH1400 1ChaldeansH3779 cameH7127 forwardH7127 and 23broughtH399 chargesH7170 againstH1768 the JewsH3062. 9They respondedH6032 and saidH560 to NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430: “4O kingH4430, liveH2418 foreverH5957! 10You, O kingH4430, have 5madeH7761 a decreeH2942 that everyH3606 manH606 whoH1768 hearsH8086 the soundH7032 of the hornH7162, fluteH4953, 6lyreH7030, trigonH5443, psalteryH6460, and bagpipeH5481 and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musicH2170, is to 7fallH5308 downH5308 and worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755. 11But whoeverH4479 does not fallH5308 downH5308 and worshipH5457 shall be castH7412 into the midstH1459 of a furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135. 12ThereH383 are certainH1400 JewsH3062 whomH1768 you have 8appointedH4483 overH5922 the administrationH5673 of the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895, namely ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665. TheseH479 menH1400, O kingH4430, have disregardedH3809H7761H5922H2942 you; they do not serveH6399 your godsH426 or worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 whichH1768 you have setH6966 up.”

13ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 in 9rageH7266 and angerH2528 gaveH560 ordersH560 to bringH858 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665; thenH116 theseH479 menH1400 were broughtH858 beforeH6925 the kingH4430. 14NebuchadnezzarH5020 respondedH6032 and saidH560 to them, “Is it trueH6656, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665, that you doH383 not serveH6399 10my godsH426 or worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 that I have setH6966 up? 15NowH3705 ifH2006 you are readyH6263, 11at the momentH5732 you hearH8086 the soundH7032 of the hornH7162, fluteH4953, 12lyreH7030, 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 13immediatelyH8160 be 14castH7412 into the midstH1459 of a furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135; and 15whatH4479 godH426 is there whoH1768 can deliverH7804 you out of my handsH3028?”

1616ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665 repliedH6032 to the kingH4430, “O NebuchadnezzarH5020, we do not needH2818 to giveH8421 you an answerH6600 concerningH5922 thisH1836 matterH6600. 1717IfH2006 it be so, our 18GodH426 whomH1768 we serveH6399 is ableH3202 to deliverH7804 us from the furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135; 19and 20He will deliverH7804 us out of your handH3028, O kingH4430. 1821But even ifH2006 He does not, 22let 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.”
