Daniel 1:11-20
11Then saidH559 DanielH1840 to the steward, whomH834 the princeH8269 of the eunuchsH5631 had appointedH4487 over DanielH1840, HananiahH2608, MishaelH4332, and AzariahH5838:
12Prove thy servantsH5650, I beseechH4994 thee, tenH6235 daysH3117; and letH4994 them giveH5414 usH5414 pulse to eatH398, and waterH4325 to drinkH8354.
13Then let our countenances be lookedH7200 uponH7200 beforeH6440 thee, and the countenanceH6440 of the youthsH3206 that eatH398 of the king’sH4428 meat; and as thou seest, dealH6213 with thy servantsH5650.
14SoH2088 he hearkened unto them in this matterH1697, and provedH5254 them tenH6235 daysH3117.
15And at the endH7117 of tenH6235 daysH3117 their countenances appearedH7200 fairer, and they were fatter in fleshH1320, thanH4480 allH3605 the youthsH3206 which didH3117 eatH398 of the king’sH4428 meatH1320.
16SoH1961 the steward tookH5375 awayH5375 their meat, and the wineH3196 that they should drinkH4960, and gaveH5414 them pulse.
17NowH5414 as for theseH428 fourH702 youthsH3206, GodH430 gaveH5414 them knowledgeH4093 and skillH2451 in allH3605 learning and wisdomH2451: and DanielH1840 had understandingH995 in allH3605 visionsH2377 and dreamsH2472.
18And at the endH7117 of the daysH3117 whichH834 the kingH4428 had appointedH7117 for bringingH935 them in, the princeH8269 of the eunuchsH5631 broughtH935 them in beforeH6440 NebuchadnezzarH5019.
19And the kingH4428 communed with them; and among them allH3605 was foundH4672 noneH3808 like DanielH1840, HananiahH2608, MishaelH4332, and AzariahH5838: therefore stoodH5975 they beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
20And in everyH3605 matterH1697 of wisdomH2451 and understandingH998, concerning whichH834 the kingH4428 inquiredH1245 of them, he foundH4672 them tenH6235 timesH3027 betterH3027 thanH5921 allH3605 the magiciansH2748 and enchanters that were in allH3605 his realmH4438.
