Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 14 is found in chapter 3 of Daniel. The king offers the three men a second opportunity, but they respond without negotiating their loyalty. Their statement that God can deliver them is accompanied by another equally important possibility: even if He does not deliver them, they will not worship the image. The faith of the passage does not depend on demanding a miraculous outcome; it consists in recognizing God’s sovereignty even when obedience may lead to death.

Da fing Nebukadnezar an und sprach zu ihnen: Wie? wollt ihr Sadrach, Mesach, Abed-Nego, meinen Gott nicht ehren und das goldenen Bild nicht anbeten, das ich habe setzen lassen?
Habló Nabucodonosor, y díjoles: ¿Es verdad Sadrach, Mesach, y Abed-nego, que vosotros no honráis a mi dios, ni adoráis la estatua de oro que he levantado?
Nebucadnetsar prit la parole et leur dit: Est-ce de propos délibéré, Schadrac, Méschac et Abed-Nego, que vous ne servez pas mes dieux, et que vous n'adorez pas la statue d'or que j'ai élevée?
E Nebucadnesar fece loro motto, e disse loro: È egli vero, Sadrac, Mesac, ed Abed-nego, che voi non servite a’ miei dii, e non adorate la statua d’oro che io ho rizzata?
Falou Nabucodonosor, e lhes disse: É de propósito, ó Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego, que vós não servis a meus deuses nem adorais a estátua de ouro que levantei?
尼布甲尼撒 對他們說:「 沙得拉 、 米煞 、 亞伯尼歌 ,你們不事奉我的神明,不拜我所立的金像,是真的嗎?
