Daniel 3:14-18
14NebuchadnezzarH5020 beganH6032 speakingH6032 and saidH560 to them, “Is it trueH6656, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665, that you doH383 not serveH6399 1my godsH426, norH3809 worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 statueH6755 that I have setH6966 upH6966? 15NowH3705 ifH2006 you are readyH6263, 2at the momentH5732 you hearH8086 the soundH7032 of the hornH7162, fluteH4953, 3lyreH7030, trigonH5443, psalteryH6460 and bagpipeH5481, and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musicalH2170 instrumentsH2170, to fallH5308 downH5308 and worshipH5457 the statueH6755 that I have madeH5648, very well. But ifH2006 you do not worshipH5457, you will 4immediatelyH8160 be 5thrownH7412 into the midstH1459 of a furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135; and 6whatH4479 godH426 is there whoH1768 can rescueH7804 you from my handsH3028?”
167ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665 repliedH6032 to the kingH4430, “NebuchadnezzarH5020, we areH2818 not inH2818 needH2818 ofH2818 an answerH6600 to giveH8421 you concerningH5922 thisH1836 matterH1836. 17IfH2006 it be so, our 8GodH426 whomH1768 we serveH6399 is ableH3202 to rescueH7804 us from the furnaceH861 of blazingH3345 fireH5135; 9and 10He will rescueH7804 us from your handH3028, O kingH4430. 1811But even ifH2006 He does not, 12let it beH3046 knownH3046 to you, O kingH4430, that we are not going to serveH6399 your godsH426 norH3809 worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 statueH6755 that you have setH6966 upH6966.”
