Daniel 3:14-18
14Nebuchadnezzar began speaking and said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that you do not serve 1my gods, nor worship the golden statue 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 musical instruments, to fall down and worship the statue that I have made, very well. But if you do not worship, you will 4immediately be 5thrown into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire; and 6what god is there who can rescue you from my hands?”
167Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego replied to the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we are not in need of an answer to give you concerning this matter. 17If it be so, our 8God whom we serve is able to rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire; 9and 10He will rescue us from your hand, O king. 1811But even if He does not, 12let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods nor worship the golden statue that you have set up.”
