You O king established a decree, Every man who ever should hear the sound of the trumpet, even flute and harp, even sambuke and psaltery, and harmony of sound, and every kind of music,

There are men Jews whom you placed over the works of the region of Babylon Shadrach, Meshach, Abed-nego. These men obeyed not, O king, your decree, and your gods they serve not, and to the image of gold which you stationed they do not do obeisance to.
Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and anger said to lead in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. And they led them before the king.
And Nebuchadnezzar responded and said to them, Is it truly, Shadrach, Meshach, Abed-nego, to my gods you serve not, and to the image in gold which I stationed, you do not do obeisance to?
Now then if it suffices readily that as whenever you should hear the sound of the trumpet, also flute and harp, also sambuke and psaltery, and harmony of sound, and every kind of music, falling you should do obeisance to the image which I made good. And if you should not do obeisance this hour, you shall be put into the furnace and who is God who shall rescue you from out of my hands?

And men shackling Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, to cast them into the furnace
Then those men were shackled with their pantaloons, and tiaras, and leggings, and their garments. And they were thrown into the midst of the furnace
since the saying of the king excelled, and the furnace burned away over even extra seven-fold.
And these three Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell into of the furnace being shackled.
And Nebuchadnezzar heard their praising. And he wondered, and rose up in haste, and said his great men, men we threw into the midst of the fire being shackled? And they said to the king, Truly, O king.
And said Here, I see men being loose and walking in of the fire, and no corruption to them, and the vision of the fourth to son of God.
Then Nebuchadnezzar came forward to the door of the furnace and he said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, O servants of God the highest, come forth and come! And came forth Shadrach, Meshach, from out of of the fire.
And were brought together and the commandants, and the toparchs, and the mighty ones of the king. And they viewed the men, for did not their body, and the hair of their head was not ablaze, and their pantaloons did not change, and of fire was not on them.
