10. 10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths that are of your own age? so would ye endanger my head with the king.

    10 and the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, "I fear lest my lord the king, who appointed your food and your drink, should see that you were in poorer condition than the youths who are of your own age. So you would endanger my head with the king."

11. 11 Then said Daniel to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

    11 Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Misha-el, and Azariah;

12. 12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.

    12 "Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink.

13. 13 Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the kings dainties; and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.

    13 Then let our appearance and the appearance of the youths who eat the kings rich food be observed by you, and according to what you see deal with your servants."

14. 14 So he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days.

    14 So he hearkened to them in this matter, and tested them for ten days.

    15 At the end of ten days it was seen that they were better in appearance and fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate the kings rich food.
