Study Lenses
The verse centers on "certeine", "iewes", "whome", "thou", "hast", "ouer", "charge", and "prouince". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "certeine" and "iewes", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 11's "And whosoeuer falleth not downe and worshippeth..." into verse 13's "Then Nebuchad-nezzar in his anger and wrath...", so "certeine" and "iewes" belong inside that flow. In Daniel context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "certeine" and "iewes" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
