⁵ The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, “The word from me is firm: if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you will be ^[a](A)torn limb from limb, and your houses will be made a rubbish heap.

²⁹ Therefore I ^(A)make a decree that any people, nation, or tongue that says anything offensive against the God of ^(B)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego shall be torn limb from limb and their ^(C)houses reduced to a rubbish heap, inasmuch as there is ^(D)no other god who is able to deliver in this way.”
