¹⁵ Now if you are ready, ^(A)at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, flute, ^[a]lyre, trigon, psaltery and bagpipe and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, very well. But if you do not worship, you will ^[b]immediately be ^(B)cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire; and ^(C)what god is there who can deliver you out of my hands?”

²⁵ that you be ^(A)driven away from mankind and your dwelling place be with the beasts of the field, and you be given grass to eat like cattle and be drenched with the dew of heaven; and seven ^[a]periods of time will pass over you, until you recognize that the ^(B)Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and ^(C)bestows it on whomever He wishes.
