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.
