Daniel 3:4-12

4Then a herald cried aloud: “To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,

5that at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, you shall fall down and worship the gold image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up;

6and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.”

7So at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, harp, and lyre, in symphony with all kinds of music, all the people, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the gold image which King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

8Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came forward and accused the Jews.

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

10You, O king, have made a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the gold image;

11and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

12There are certain Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; these men, O king, have not paid due regard to you. They do not serve your gods or worship the gold image which you have set up.”
