Daniel 3:1-18

1NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 madeH5648 an imageH6755 of goldH1722, whoseH1768 heightH7314 was threescore cubitsH521, and the breadth thereof sixH8353 cubitsH521: he setH6966 it up in the plainH1236 of DuraH1757, in the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895.

2Then NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 sentH7972 to gather together the satrapsH324, the deputies, and the governorsH6347, the judgesH1884, the treasurersH1411, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and allH3606 the rulersH7984 of the provincesH4083, to comeH858 to the dedicationH2597 of the imageH6755 whichH1768 NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 had setH6966 up.

3Then the satrapsH324, the deputies, and the governorsH6347, the judgesH1884, the treasurersH1411, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and allH3606 the rulersH7984 of the provincesH4083, were gatheredH3673 together unto the dedicationH2597 of the imageH6755 that NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 had setH6966 up; and they stoodH6966 beforeH6903 the imageH6755 that NebuchadnezzarH5020 had setH6966 up.

4Then the heraldH3744 cried aloudH2429, to you it is commandedH560, O peoplesH5972, nationsH524, and languages,

5that at whatH1768 time ye hearH8086 the sound of the cornet, fluteH4953, harpH6460, sackbut, psalteryH6460, dulcimer, and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musicH2170, ye fallH5308 downH5308 and worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 that NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 hath setH6966 up:

6and whoso falleth notH3809 downH5308 and worshippeth shall the same hour be castH7412 intoH1459 the midstH1459 of a burning fiery furnaceH861.

7Therefore at that time, when allH3606 the peoplesH5972 heardH8086 the sound of the cornet, fluteH4953, harpH6460, sackbut, psalteryH6460, and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musicH2170, allH3606 the peoplesH5972, the nationsH524, and the languages, fellH5308 downH5308 and worshipped the goldenH1722 imageH6755 that NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 had setH6966 up.

8Wherefore at that time certainH1400 ChaldeansH3779 cameH7127 nearH7127, and broughtH399 accusation againstH1768 the JewsH3062.

9They answeredH6032 and saidH560 to NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430, O kingH4430, liveH2418 for everH5957.

10Thou, O kingH4430, hast madeH7761 a decreeH2942, that everyH3606 manH606 that shall hearH8086 the sound of the cornet, fluteH4953, harpH6460, sackbut, psalteryH6460, and dulcimer, and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musicH2170, shall fallH5308 downH5308 and worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755:

11and whoso falleth notH3809 downH5308 and worshippeth, shall be castH7412 intoH1459 the midstH1459 of a burning fiery furnaceH861.

12There are certainH1400 JewsH3062 whomH1768 thou hast appointedH4483 over the affairs of the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665; theseH479 menH1400, O kingH4430, have notH3809 regarded thee: they serveH6399 notH3809 thy godsH426, norH3809 worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 whichH1768 thou hast setH6966 up.

13Then NebuchadnezzarH5020 in his rageH7266 and fury commandedH560 to bringH858 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665. Then they broughtH858 theseH479 menH1400 beforeH6925 the kingH4430.

14NebuchadnezzarH5020 answeredH6032 and saidH560 unto them, Is it of purpose, O ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665, that ye serveH6399 notH3809 my godH426, norH3809 worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 whichH1768 I have setH6966 up?

15NowH3705 ifH2006 ye be readyH6263 that at whatH4479 time ye hearH8086 the sound of the cornet, fluteH4953, harpH6460, sackbut, psalteryH6460, and dulcimer, and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musicH2170, ye fallH5308 downH5308 and worshipH5457 the imageH6755 whichH1768 I have madeH5648, well: but ifH2006 ye worshipH5457 notH3809, ye shall be castH7412 the same hour intoH1459 the midstH1459 of a burning fiery furnaceH861; and who is that GodH426 that shall deliverH7804 youH1768 outH5648 of my handsH3028?

16ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and Abed-negoH5665, answeredH6032 and saidH560 to the kingH4430, O NebuchadnezzarH5020, weH586 have noH3809 needH2818 to answerH6600 thee in this matterH6600.

17IfH2006 it be soH1768, our GodH426 whomH1768 weH586 serveH6399 is ableH3202 to deliverH7804 us from the burning fiery furnaceH861; and he will deliverH7804 us out of thine handH3028, O kingH4430.

18But ifH2006 notH3809, be it knownH3046 unto thee, O kingH4430, that weH1768 will notH3809 serveH6399 thy godsH426, norH3809 worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 whichH1768 thou hast setH6966 up.
