Daniel 3:10-12

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁰ Your Majesty, you gave an order that everyone who hears the sound of rams’ horns, flutes, lyres, harps, and three-stringed harps playing at the same time with all other kinds of instruments should bow down and worship the gold statue. ¹¹ ⌞Your order said that⌟ whoever doesn’t bow down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace. ¹² There are certain Jews whom you appointed to govern the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men didn’t obey your order, Your Majesty. They don’t honor your gods or worship the statue that you set up.”
