In context
15 Now, if ye be ready, at what time ye shall hear the sound of the cornet, the pipe, the lyre, the harp, the psaltery and the bagpipes, and all the instruments of music, ye shall fall down and adore the image which I have made, but, if ye shall not adore, instantly, shall ye be cast into the midst of the burning furnace of fire,—and who is the god that shall deliver you out of my hands?
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered, and said to the king: O Nebuchadnezzar! we are not accounting it needful, concerning this, to answer thee.
17 If it is, our God, whom we serve, is able to deliver us,—out of the burning furnace of fire, and out of thy hand, O king, he will deliver.
18 But, if not, be it known to thee, O king,—that, thy god, will we not serve, and, the image of gold which thou hast set up, will we not adore.
19 Then, Nebuchadnezzar, was filled with wrath, and, the likeness of his countenance, was changed, against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego,—he spake and gave word to heat the furnace seven times hotter than it was ever seen heated;
20 and, to men, who were the mightiest men in his army, gave he word to bind fast Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego,—to cast them into the burning furnace of fire.
21 Then bound they, these men, in their trousers, their tunics, and their cloaks, and their (other) clothing,—and cast into the midst of the burning furnace of fire.
