Daniel:3.1
King Nebuchadnezzar had a gold statue made, ninety feet high and nine feet wide, and he had it set up in the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.
Daniel:3.4
a herald announced in a loud voice, "People of all nations, races, and languages!
Daniel:3.5
You will hear the sound of the trumpets, followed by the playing of oboes, lyres, zithers, and harps; and then all the other instruments will join in. As soon as the music starts, you are to bow down and worship the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
Daniel:3.6
Anyone who does not bow down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace."
Daniel:3.12
There are some Jews whom you put in charge of the province of Babylon---Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego---who are disobeying Your Majesty's orders. They do not worship your god or bow down to the statue you set up."
Daniel:3.14
He said to them, "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, is it true that you refuse to worship my god and to bow down to the gold statue I have set up?
Daniel:3.16
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered, "Your Majesty, we will not try to defend ourselves.
Daniel:3.17
If the God whom we serve is able to save us from the blazing furnace and from your power, then he will.
Daniel:3.22
Now because the king had given strict orders for the furnace to be made extremely hot, the flames burned up the guards who took the men to the furnace.
Daniel:3.25
"Then why do I see four men walking around in the fire?" he asked. "They are not tied up, and they show no sign of being hurt---and the fourth one looks like an angel."
Daniel:3.26
So Nebuchadnezzar went up to the door of the blazing furnace and called out, "Shadrach! Meshach! Abednego! Servants of the Supreme God! Come out!" And they came out at once.
