Daniel 3:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, saying, “Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves to you. ¹⁷ If you throw us into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from the furnace. He will save us from your power, O king. ¹⁸ But even if God does not save us, we want you, O king, to know this: We will not serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”
