…Nebuchadnezzar, in rage and fury, gave
the command to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. So they brought these
men before the king. Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying to them, “Is it true,
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, that you do not serve my gods or
worship the gold image which I have set up? Now if you are ready at the time
you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in
symphony with all kinds of music, and you fall down and worship the image which
I have made, good! But if you do not worship, you shall be cast
immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. And who is the
god who will deliver you from my hands?”
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego
answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you
in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to
deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from
your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not
serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.”
Daniel 3:13-18
