There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy elah, 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 Elah of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other Elah that can deliver after this sort.
