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).
12. There are certain Yehudim whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have disregarded thee; they serve (pay-lammed-chet, serve as deity) not thy g-ds, nor worship the golden tzelem which thou hast set up.
