Daniel 3:5-10

5When you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must bow down and pay homage to the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has erected.

6Whoever does not bow down and pay homage will immediately be thrown into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire!”

7Therefore when they all heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations, and language groups began bowing down and paying homage to the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had erected.

8Now at that time certain Chaldeans came forward and brought malicious accusations against the Jews.

9They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, live forever!

10You have issued an edict, O king, that everyone must bow down and pay homage to the golden statue when they hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music.
