Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to king Nebuchadnezzar, "It is not right for us to obey you in this matter.
For behold our God, whom we worship, is able to rescue us from the oven of burning fire and to free us from your hands, O king.
But even if he will not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not worship your gods, nor adore the gold statue, which you have raised up."
