Fearless Faith with Shadrack, Meshach, and Abednego

¹³Then in a furious rage  Nebuchadnezzar gave orders to bring in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king. ¹⁴Nebuchadnezzar asked them, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, is it true that you don’t serve my gods or worship the gold statue  I have set up? ¹⁵Now if you’re ready, when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, drum, and every kind of music, fall down and worship the statue I made. But if you don’t worship it, you will immediately be thrown into a furnace of blazing fire #— #and who is the god who can rescue you from my power? ” 

¹⁶Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied to the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we don’t need to give you an answer to this question. ¹⁷If the God we serve exists,  then he can rescue  us from the furnace of blazing fire, and he can  rescue us from the power of you, the king. ¹⁸But even if he does not rescue us,  we want you as king to know that we will not serve  your gods  or worship the gold statue you set up.”
