Dey Neva Bow Down

Sometime afta King Nebukadnezzar had da dream about da statue, he wen make one humangus gold statue. He wen set um up in one place called Dura, wea da land stay flat. Den he call all da importan guys in da land fo come togedda in fron da statue, even Shadrak, Meshak, an Abednego. Den da king tell: ‘Wen you hea dem play da trumpets, harps, an flutes all togedda, you gotta go on da groun an bow down to da statue! Whoeva no bow down, we goin throw um in da big fiyah oven.’ So wat you tink, da three Hebrew boys goin bow down to da statue, or dey goin ony worship Jehovah?

Da king give da order fo play da music. So erybody bow down an worship da statue. But Shadrak, Meshak, an Abednego neva. Some of da guys see dis an dey tell da king: ‘Dose three Hebrews no like worship yoa statue.’ Nebukadnezzar tell his guys fo bring dem to him. He tell da Hebrew boys: ‘I goin give you one moa chance fo worship da statue. If not, I goin throw you in da fiyah oven. No moa one god dat can save you from me.’ Dey ansa: ‘We no need anodda chance, cuz oua God can save us. But King, even if he no save us, we not goin worship da statue.’

Den Nebukadnezzar had come so mad dat he tell his guys: ‘Turn up da fiyah seven times moa hot den befoa!’ He orda his army guys: ‘Tie up dese guys an throw um in da fiyah!’ Da oven wuz so hot dat wen da army guys had get close to um, dey wen mahke. Da three Hebrews wen fall into da fiyah. But wen Nebukadnezzar look inside, he see four guys walking aroun in da fiyah, not three. He come sked an ask his guys: ‘I thought we had throw three guys in da fiyah? I see four, an one of dem look like one angel.’

Nebukadnezzar go close to da big fiyah oven an yell: ‘You guys dat worship Da Mos Importan God, come out!’ Erybody no could believe Shadrak, Meshak, an Abednego stay walk outa da fiyah witout getting hurt. Dea skin, hair, an clotheses neva get burn. Dey no even smell like smoke from da fiyah.

Nebukadnezzar tell: ‘Da God of Shadrak, Meshak, an Abednego iz so awesome. He wen sen his angel fo save dem. No moa anodda god like dea god.’

Jus like da three Hebrew boys, you goin choose fo be loyal to Jehovah no matta wat?
