Daniel 1 📜 📕 ↷
Daniel's Faithfulness
8 But Daniel purposed in his heart, that he would not be polluted of the king's table, nor of the wine of his drink: & he requested the governor of the eunuchs, that he might not be contaminated.📜💬📚
9 And God gave unto Daniel grace and mercy in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.📜💬📚
10 And the prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel: I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed for you meat and drink: who if he shall see your faces leaner than the other youths your equals, you shall condemn my head to the king.📜💬📚
11 And Daniel said to Malasar whom the prince of the eunuchs appointed over Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias:📜💬📚
12 Prove I beseech thee, thy servants for ten days, & let pulse be given us to eat, & water to drink:📜💬📚
13 and look upon our faces, and the faces of the children that eat of the king's meat: and as thou shalt see, thou shalt do with thy servants.📜💬📚
14 Who hearing that manner of speech, proved them for ten days.📜💬📚
15 And after ten days their faces appeared better & more corpulent than all the children, that did eat of the king's meat.📜💬📚
16 Moreover Malasar took away the meats, and the wine of their drink: and he gave them pulse.📜💬📚
Daniel's Wisdom
17 And to these children God gave knowledge, and discipline in every book, and wisdom: but to Daniel the understanding of all visions and dreams.📜💬📚
18 The days therefore being accomplished, after which the king had said, that they should be brought in; the governor of the eunuchs brought them in the sight of Nabuchodonosor.📜💬📚
19 And when the king had spoken to them, there were not found such of them all, as Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias: and they stood in the king's sight.📜💬📚
20 And every word of wisdom and understanding, that the king demanded of them, he found in them more by ten fold above all the soothsayers, & magicians, that were in all his kingdom.📜💬📚
