Daniel 1:8-12
8But Daniel 1made up his mind that he would not 2defile himself with the 3king’s choice food or with the 4wine which he drank; so he sought permission from the commander of the officials that he might not defile himself.
9Now God granted Daniel 56favor and compassion in the sight of the commander of the officials,
10and the commander of the officials said to Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink; for why should he see your faces looking more haggard than the youths who are your own age? Then you would 7make me forfeit my head to the king.”
11But Daniel said to the overseer whom the commander of the officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah,
12“Please test your servants for ten days, and let us be 8given some vegetables to eat and water to drink.
