There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed´nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed´nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
