Daniel 3, 16-18 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied to King Nebuchadnezzar, We do not need to give you a reply concerning this. If our God whom we are serving exists, He is able to rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire, and He will rescue us, O King, from Your power as well. But if He does not, let it be known to You, O King, that we don't serve Your gods, and we will not pay homage to the golden statue that You have erected.
