Nebuchadnezzar punished those who refused to worship the golden image by throwing them into a furnace. In the book of Daniel, King Nebuchadnezzar made a golden image and commanded all the people to worship it. Three Jewish men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, refused to worship the image because it went against their faith in God. Angered by their disobedience, Nebuchadnezzar ordered that they be thrown into a fiery furnace. However, God miraculously saved them from the flames, and they emerged unscathed. This event demonstrated the faithfulness of these men to their beliefs and God's power to protect his people.
