3. Then the satraps, the prefects, and governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the tzelem that Nevuchadnetzar the king had set up; and they stood before the tzelem that Nevuchadnetzar had set up.
4. Then a karoz (herald) cried aloud, To you it is ommanded, O people, nations, and languages,
5. That at what time ye hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, psaltery, pipes, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden tzelem that Nevuchadnetzar the king hath set up;
6. And whoso falleth not down and worshipeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery attun (furnace).
7. Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshiped the golden tzelem that Nevuchadnetzar the king had set up.
8. Wherefore at that time certain Kasdim (Chaldeans) came near, and accused the Yehudim.
9. They spoke and said to the king Nevuchadnetzar, O king, live for ever.
10. Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, psaltery, and pipes, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden tzelem;
11. And whoso falleth not down and worshipeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery attun (furnace).
