¹¹ But whoever does not fall down and worship shall be thrown into the middle of a furnace of blazing fire.

¹⁵ Now if you are ready, ^(A)at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, flute, ^[a]lyre, trigon, psaltery and bagpipe, and all kinds of musical instruments, to fall down and worship the statue that I have made, very well. But if you do not worship, you will ^[b]immediately be ^(B)thrown into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire; and ^(C)what god is there who can rescue you from my hands?”

²¹ Then these men were tied up in their ^(A)trousers, their ^[a]coats, their caps, and their other clothes, and were thrown into the middle of the furnace of blazing fire.

⁷ All the ^(A)commissioners of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the counselors and the governors, have ^(B)consulted together that the king should establish a statute and enforce an injunction that anyone who offers a prayer to any god or person besides you, O king, for thirty days, shall ^(C)be thrown into the lions’ ^[a]den.
