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.
18Now at the end of the time fixed by the king for them to go in, the captain of the unsexed servants took them in to Nebuchadnezzar.
19And the king had talk with them; and among them all there was no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; so they were given places before the king.
20And in any business needing wisdom and good sense, about which the king put questions to them, he saw that they were ten times better than all the wonder-workers and users of secret arts in all his kingdom.
21And Daniel went on till the first year of King Cyrus.
