7 Therefore, as soon as all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, all the peoples, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

29 ^hTherefore I make a decree: Any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be ⁱtorn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins, for there is no other god who is able to rescue in this way.”

Nebuchadnezzar Praises God

1 ¹ King Nebuchadnezzar ^jto all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you!

19 And because of the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. Whom he would, he killed, and whom he would, he kept alive; whom he would, he raised up, and whom he would, he humbled.

25 Then King Darius wrote ^jto all the peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth: “Peace be multiplied to you.

11 And I was told, “You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.”
