Therefore assoone as all the people heard the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and all instruments of musike, all the people, nations, and languages fell downe, and worshipped the golden image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp.
Daniel 3:5 That when ye heare the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, dulcimer, and all instruments of musike, ye fall downe and worship the golden image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King hath set vp,
Daniel 3:6 And whosoeuer falleth not downe and worshippeth, shall the same houre bee cast into the middes of an hote fierie fornace.
Daniel 3:7 Therefore assoone as all the people heard the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and all instruments of musike, all the people, nations, and languages fell downe, and worshipped the golden image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp.
Daniel 3:8 By reason whereof at that same time came men of the Caldeans, and grieuously accused the Iewes.
Daniel 3:9 For they spake and said to the King Nebuchad-nezzar, O King, liue for euer.
The verse centers on "therefore", "assoone", "people", "heard", "sound", "cornet", "trumpet", and "harpe". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "therefore" and "assoone", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 6's "And whosoeuer falleth not downe and worshippeth..." into verse 8's "By reason whereof at that same time...", so "therefore" and "assoone" 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 "therefore" and "assoone" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
