Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
Ahora bien, cuando oigan toda esa música tocando (los cuernos, flautas, arpas y todo lo demás), será mejor que se inclinen y adoren la estatua que hice. Hagan eso y no habrá problema. Pero si no la adoran, los arrojaré directo al horno ardiente en esa misma hora. ¿Y qué dios los va a salvar de mí?
Nabucodonosor amenaza con muerte inmediata a quienes no adoren su estatua, desafiando arrogantemente el poder de cualquier dios para rescatarlos.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context of the Babylonian exile, King Nebuchadnezzar had built a massive golden image and commanded all people in his kingdom to bow down and worship it upon hearing specific musical instruments, as a way to enforce loyalty to his rule and gods. This event occurred during the time when Daniel and his friends, Jewish exiles from Judah, were serving in the Babylonian court, facing pressure to conform to pagan practices. The verse specifically records Nebuchadnezzar's ultimatum to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, threatening them with immediate execution in a fiery furnace if they refused to worship the idol.
