Daniel 3:4-12

4Then the herald loudly proclaimed: “To you 1the command is given, you 2peoples, nations, and populations of all 3languages, 5that at the moment you 4hear the sound of the horn, flute, 5lyre, 6trigon, 7psaltery, bagpipe, and all kinds of musical instruments, you are to fall down and worship the golden statue that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up. 6But whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be 8thrown into the middle of a 9furnace of blazing fire.” 7Therefore as soon as all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, 10lyre, trigon, psaltery, 11bagpipe, and all kinds of musical instruments, all the peoples, nations, and populations of all 12languages fell down and worshiped the golden statue that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

8For this reason at that time certain 13Chaldeans came forward and 1415brought charges against the Jews. 9They began to speak and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king: “16O king, live forever! 10You, O king, have 17made a decree that every person who hears the sound of the horn, flute, 18lyre, trigon, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of musical instruments, is to 19fall down and worship the golden statue. 11But whoever does not fall down and worship shall be thrown into the middle 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, nor do they worship the golden statue which you have set up.”
