3:1 The command to worship the statue
3 King Nevukadnetsar (Nebuchadnezzar) had a gold statue made that stood nearly thirty metres high and was almost three metres wide, and it was erected on the Dura plain in the Babylonian province. 2 Then King Nevukadnetsar sent for the various levels of governors, the counsellors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the provincial officials, to all come to the dedication of the statue that he’d erected. 3 So all those officials assembled in front of the statue that the king had set up, ready for the dedication. 4 Then the herald loudly proclaimed, “You peoples, nations, and languages are commanded 5 that any time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, harps, pipes, and other instruments, you all must bow down and worship the gold statue that King Nevukadnetsar has erected. 6 Anyone who refuses to bow down and worship it at that time, will be thrown into a blazing furnace.” 7 So when all those people who had gathered heard the sounds made by the musical instruments, they all bowed down to worship the gold statue.
