Daniel 3:8-12

8For this reason at that time certain 1Chaldeans came forward and 23brought charges against the Jews. 9They began to speak and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king: “4O king, live forever! 10You, O king, have 5made a decree that every person who hears the sound of the horn, flute, 6lyre, trigon, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of musical instruments, is to 7fall 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 8appointed 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.”
