Daniel 3:15-18
15Now if you are ready when eyou hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, well and good. ▼▼Aramaic lacks well and good
But if you do not worship, gyou shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace. And hwho is the god who will deliver you out of my hands?” 16 iShadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. 17If this be so, jour God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. ▼
▼Or If our God whom we serve is able to deliver us, he will deliver us from the burning fiery furnace and out of your hand, O king.
18But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”
