Daniel 1:12-16

12“Please, test your servants for ten days, and let us be given some vegetables to eat and water to drink.

13Then let our appearance and the appearance of the young men who eat the king’s finest food be observed and compared by you, and deal with your servants in accordance with what you see.”

14So the man listened to them in this matter and tested them for ten days.

15At the end of ten days it seemed that they were looking better and healthier than all the young men who ate the king’s finest food.

16So the overseer continued to withhold their fine food and the wine they were to drink, and kept giving them vegetables.
