Daniel 3:4-9 World English Bible (WEB)

4. Then the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages,

5. that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up;

6. and whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall the same hour be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.

7. Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

8. Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and brought accusation against the Jews.

9. They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, O king, live for ever.
