The king replied<n id="1" /> to the wise men, &#8220;My decision is firm.<n id="2" /> If you do not inform me of both the dream and its interpretation, you will be dismembered<n id="3" /> and your homes reduced to rubble!

I hereby decree<n id="1" /> that any people, nation, or language group that blasphemes<n id="2" /> the god of Shadrach, Meshach, or Abednego will be dismembered and his home reduced to rubble! For there exists no other god who can deliver in this way.&#8221;
