11Then Daniel said to the keeper in whose care the captain of the unsexed servants had put Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
12Put your servants to the test for ten days; let them give us grain for our food and water for our drink.
13Then take a look at our faces and the faces of the young men who have food from the king's table; and, having seen them, do to your servants as it seems right to you.
14So he gave ear to them in this thing and put them to the test for ten days.
15And at the end of ten days their faces seemed fairer and they were fatter in flesh than all the young men who had their food from the king's table.
16So the keeper regularly took away their meat and the wine which was to have been their drink, and gave them grain.
17Now as for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and made them expert in all book-learning and wisdom: and Daniel was wise in all visions and dreams.
