Bible verse
At this time some astrologers came forward and maliciously accused the Jews,
Daniel 3:8 · BSB
The verses around it, from Daniel 3.
4 Then the herald loudly proclaimed, “O people of every nation and language, this is what you are commanded:
5 As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
6 And whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into the blazing fiery furnace.”
7 Therefore, as soon as all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, and all kinds of music, the people of every nation and language would fall down and worship the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
8 At this time some astrologers came forward and maliciously accused the Jews,
9 saying to King Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, may you live forever!
10 You, O king, have issued a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music must fall down and worship the golden statue,
11 and that whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into the blazing fiery furnace.
12 But there are some Jews you have appointed to manage the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—who have ignored you, O king, and have refused to serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.”
