Daniel 3:8-12

Holman Christian Standard Bible

The Furnace of Blazing Fire

⁸ Some Chaldeans took this occasion to come forward and maliciously accuse^[a](A) the Jews. ⁹ They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “May the king live forever. ¹⁰ You as king have issued a decree^(B) that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, drum, and every kind of music must fall down and worship the gold statue. ¹¹ Whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a furnace of blazing fire. ¹² There are some Jews you have appointed to manage the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.^(C) These men have ignored you,^(D) the king; they do not serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”
