Daniel 1:12-16

12“Please test us for ten days on a diet of vegetables and water,” Daniel said.

13“At the end of the ten days, see how we look compared to the other young men who are eating the king’s food. Then make your decision in light of what you see.”

14The attendant agreed to Daniel’s suggestion and tested them for ten days.

15At the end of the ten days, Daniel and his three friends looked healthier and better nourished than the young men who had been eating the food assigned by the king.

16So after that, the attendant fed them only vegetables instead of the food and wine provided for the others.
