King Nebuchadnezzar II demands that everybody bow down and worship a graven image.

I te hō’ē mahana, ’ua parau te ari’i i te mau ta’ata ato’a ’ia pure i te hō’ē ti’i ’auro. Mai te mea ’aita rātou e nā reira, e huri ’oia ia rātou i roto i te auahi.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego refuse to bow down and worship the graven image.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego are thrown into the fiery furnace.
