Daniel 3:10 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 3:10

Thou, O king, hast made a decree
According to his own mind and will, and which he had published as such to his subjects: that every man;
let him be who he will, high or low, rich or poor, in whatsoever station or condition: that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut,
psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music;
such as had been just then blown or played on: shall fall down and worship the golden image;
which the king had ordered to be made and set up, and now dedicated, and had been worshipped by men of all ranks.

12 Therefore men Jews be, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, which thou hast ordained on the works of the country of Babylon. Thou king, these men have despised thy decree; they honour not thy gods, and they worship not the golden image, which thou raisedest. (And so there be some Jews, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, whom thou hast ordained over the works of the province of Babylon. O king, these men have despised thy decree; they do not honour thy gods, and they do not worship the gold figure, which thou hast raised up.)
