Daniel 3:5-15

CLV(i) 5 As soon as you shall hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, the lyre, the sambuke, the psalteries-- all sorts of music in concert--you shall fall down and worship the golden image that is set up by Nebuchadnezzar the king." 6 And whoever shall not fall down and worship, in the same hour shall he be heaved into the midst of the glowing, flaming furnace." 7 Wherefore, at the stated time, as all the people are hearing the sound of the horn, the pipe, the lyre, the sambuke, the psalteries--all sorts of music in concert--falling down are all the peoples, leagues and language-groups, and worshiping the golden image that is set up by Nebuchadnezzar the king." 8 Wherefore, at the stated time, the masters of the Chaldeans draw near and accuse the Jews." 9 They respond and are saying to king Nebuchadnezzar, "O lord the king, live for the eons!" 10 You, O king, promulgate a decree that every mortal that shall hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, the lyre, the sambuke, the psalteries--all sorts of music in concert--shall fall down and worship the golden image;" 11 and whoever shall not fall down and worship the golden image shall be heaved into the midst of the glowing, flaming furnace." 12 Actually, the Jewish masters whom you assigned over the administration of the province of Babylon--Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego--these masters did not act on your decree, O king:Your eloah they are not serving, the golden image that you set up they are not worshipping." 13 Then Nebuchadnezzar, disturbed and furious, says to bring hither Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then these Jewish masters are brought hither before the king." 14 Responding is Nebuchadnezzar and saying to them, "Is it intentional, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, that you are not actually serving my eloah, the golden image that I set up you are not worshiping? 15 Actually, should you now be ready, then, as soon as you are hearing the sound of the horn, the pipe, the lyre, the sambuke, the psalteries--all sorts of music in concert--you shall fall down and worship the golden image that I made. And should you not be ready, you know that if you are not worshiping, in the same hour shall you be heaved into the midst of the glowing, flaming furnace. And who is the eloah that will deliver you from my hands?
