Daniel 3:5-10

5that at the moment you 1hear the sound of the horn, flute, 2lyre, 3trigon, 4psaltery, 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 5thrown into the middle of a 6furnace of blazing fire.” 7Therefore as soon as all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, 7lyre, trigon, psaltery, 8bagpipe, and all kinds of musical instruments, all the peoples, nations, and populations of all 9languages fell down and worshiped the golden statue that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

8For this reason at that time certain 10Chaldeans came forward and 11 12brought charges against the Jews. 9They began to speak and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king: “13O king, live forever! 10You, O king, have 14made a decree that every person who hears the sound of the horn, flute, 15lyre, trigon, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of musical instruments, is to 16fall down and worship the golden statue.
