    10But the chief official said to Daniel, 'I fear my lord the king, who has assigned your food and drink. Why should he see you looking worse than the other youths your age? You would endanger my life before the king.'

    11Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

    12Please test your servants for ten days. Let us be given only vegetables to eat and water to drink.

    13Then compare our appearance with that of the other youths who are eating the royal food, and deal with your servants according to what you see.

    14So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.

    15At the end of the ten days, they looked healthier and better nourished than all the young men who were eating the royal food.

    16So the steward took away their portion of the royal food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead.

    20In every matter of wisdom and understanding that the king consulted them about, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his entire kingdom.

    21And Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus.
