Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
They stood before the image - in an attitude of devotion. Whatever the king approved of they all approved of. There is no stability of principle in the ungodly.
