Daniel 1:8-10

Revised Geneva Translation

⁸ But Daniel had determined in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank. Therefore he required the chief of the Eunuchs not to defile himself.

⁹ (Now God had brought Daniel into favor and compassion with the chief of the Eunuchs.)

¹⁰ And the chief of the Eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear my lord, the king; who has appointed your meat and your drink. For if he sees your faces looking worse than other youths of your age, then you shall make me lose my head to the king.”
