6 Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace."
6 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
6 And whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace."
6 Anyone who does not kneel and worship shall be thrown immediately into a roaring furnace."
6 and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace."
6 Anyone who refuses to obey will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Daniel 3:6
Commentary on Daniel 3:1-7
(Read Daniel 3:1-7)
In the height of the image, about thirty yards, probably is included a pedestal, and most likely it was only covered with plates of gold, not a solid mass of that precious metal. Pride and bigotry cause men to require their subjects to follow their religion, whether right or wrong, and when worldly interest allures, and punishment overawes, few refuse. This is easy to the careless, the sensual, and the infidel, who are the greatest number; and most will go their ways. There is nothing so bad which the careless world will not be drawn to by a concert of music, or driven to by a fiery furnace. By such methods, false worship has been set up and maintained.
