Daniel 1:8-14
8But DanielH1840 purposedH7760 in his heartH3820 that he would not defileH1351 himself with the portionH6598 of the king’sH4428 foodH6598, nor with the wineH3196 which he drankH4960: therefore he requestedH1245 of the princeH8269 of the eunuchsH5631 that he might not defileH1351 himself. 9Now GodH430 had broughtH5414 DanielH1840 into favourH2617 and compassionH7356 withH6440 the princeH8269 of the eunuchsH5631. 10And the princeH8269 of the eunuchsH5631 saidH559 to DanielH1840, I fearH3373 my lordH113 the kingH4428, who hath appointedH4487 your foodH3978 and your drinkH4960: for why should he seeH7200 your facesH6440 worse lookingH2196 than the childrenH3206 who are of your ageH1524? then shall ye make me endangerH2325 my headH7218 to the kingH4428.12 11Then saidH559 DanielH1840 to MelzarH4453, whom the princeH8269 of the eunuchsH5631 had setH4487 over DanielH1840, HananiahH2608, MishaelH4332, and AzariahH5838,3 12TestH5254 thy servantsH5650, I beseech thee, tenH6235 daysH3117; and let them giveH5414 us vegetablesH2235 to eatH398, and waterH4325 to drinkH8354.45 13Then let our countenancesH4758 be looked uponH7200 beforeH6440 thee, and the countenanceH4758 of the childrenH3206 that eatH398 of the portionH6598 of the king’sH4428 foodH6598: and as thou seestH7200, dealH6213 with thy servantsH5650. 14So he consentedH8085 to them in this matterH1697, and triedH5254 them tenH6235 daysH3117.
