8 At that point, some of the Chaldeans came and accused the Jews

9 to King Nebuchadnezzar: “O king, live forever!

10 O king, you issued a decree that everyone who heard the sound of the horn, pipe, zither, dulcimer, harp, and double-flute, and all the other musical instruments should fall down and worship the golden statue;

11 whoever did not was to be cast into a white-hot furnace.

12 There are certain Jews whom you have made administrators of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have paid no attention to you; they will not serve your god or worship the golden statue which you set up.”
