10You, O king, have issued a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, and all kinds of music must fall down and worship the golden statue,
11and that whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a blazing fiery furnace.

13Then Nebuchadnezzar, in rage and fury, gave orders to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. So these men were brought before the king.
14Nebuchadnezzar said to them, 'Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden statue I have set up?'
15Now, if you are ready, when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the statue I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will immediately be thrown into the blazing fiery furnace. And who is the god who can rescue you from my hands?'
16Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego replied to the king, 'Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to answer you concerning this matter.
17If the God we serve exists, he is able to rescue us from the blazing fiery furnace and deliver us from your hand, O king.
18But even if he does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.'
