Your Majesty has issued a decreethat everyone who hears the sound
of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe
and all kinds of music
must fall down and worship
the image of gold
and that whoever does not fall down
and worship
will be thrown into a blazing furnace.
But there are some Jews
whom you have set over the affairs
of the province of Babylon
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
who pay no attention to you,
Your Majesty.
They neither serve your gods
nor worship the image of gold
you have set up.
~ Daniel 3
