Daniel 3:4-7
New American Standard Bible
4 Then the herald loudly proclaimed: “To you [a]the command is given, you (A)peoples, nations, and populations of all [b]languages, 5 that at the moment you (B)hear the sound of the horn, flute, [c]lyre, [d]trigon, [e]psaltery, bagpipe, and all kinds of musical instruments, you are to fall down and worship the golden statue that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up. 6 But whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be (C)thrown into the middle of a (D)furnace of blazing fire.” 7 Therefore as soon as all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, [f]lyre, trigon, psaltery, [g]bagpipe, and all kinds of musical instruments, all the peoples, nations, and populations of all [h]languages fell down and worshiped the golden statue that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
