Daniel 3:19

"But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up.”"

Key Reflection

This declaration by Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego signifies their unwavering commitment to their faith, even in the face of death. They prioritize serving their God over obeying the king's command, demonstrating the supremacy of moral integrity and divine worship.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury -Margin, “filled.” He was exceedingly enraged. He evidently was not prepared for a stand so firm and determined on their part, and he did not appreciate their motives, nor was he disposed to yield to them the privilege and right of following their honest convictions.
