Daniel 3:14-18 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
14
and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, "Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods1 or worship the image2 of gold I have set up?
15
Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god3 will be able to rescue4 you from my hand?"
16
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego5 replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter.
17
If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save6 us from it, and he will rescue7 us from your hand, O king.
18
But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.8"
