27:003:001 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height
           was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits:  he
           set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.

27:003:002 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the
           princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the
           treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers
           of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which
           Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

27:003:003 Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the
           treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers
           of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication
           of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they
           stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

27:003:004 Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people,
           nations, and languages,

27:003:005 That 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: 

27:003:006 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour
           be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

27:003:007 Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of
           the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of
           musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell
           down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the
           king had set up.

27:003:008 Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and
           accused the Jews.

27:003:009 They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live
           for ever.

27:003:010 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall
           hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery,
           and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and
           worship the golden image: 

27:003:011 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be
           cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

27:003:012 There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of
           the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego;
           these men, O king, have not regarded thee:  they serve not thy
           gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

27:003:013 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring
           Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.  Then they brought these men
           before the king.
