There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
Þerfor men Jewis ben, Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago, whiche thou hast ordeynede on þe werkis of þe cuntrei of Babiloyne. Þou kyng, þese men han dispisid thi decree; þei onouren not thi goddis, and þei worshipen not þe goldun ymage, which thou reisidist.
