"Drie jongelingen in de brandende oven en het feestmaal van Belsassar" is an etching by Dutch artist Jacob Folkema from 1791. The print depicts two scenes from the Book of Daniel in the Bible. The top depicts the story of the three Hebrew youths who are thrown into a fiery furnace for refusing to worship a golden idol. The bottom depicts the feast of King Belshazzar of Babylon where he is warned by a mysterious hand that his kingdom will fall. Folkema's print is a powerful reminder of the strength of faith and the consequences of pride. The work is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
