4Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,
5That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:
6And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

8Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.

Commentary
Daniel chapter 3 is a powerful story of faith and courage in the face of overwhelming odds. It tells the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, three Jewish men who were thrown into a fiery furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar for refusing to bow down and worship a golden image. Despite the threat of death, the three men refused to bow down and instead chose to trust in God.
