Bible verse
So he consented to this and tested them for ten days.
Daniel 1:14 · BSB
The verses around it, from Daniel 1.
10 but he said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who has assigned your food and drink. For why should he see your faces looking thinner than those of the other young men your age? You would endanger my head before the king!”
11 Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
12 “Please test your servants for ten days. Let us be given only vegetables to eat and water to drink.
13 Then compare our appearances with those of the young men who are eating the royal food, and deal with your servants according to what you see.”
14 So he consented to this and tested them for ten days.
15 And at the end of ten days, they looked healthier and better nourished than all the young men who were eating the king’s food.
16 So the steward continued to withhold their choice food and the wine they were to drink, and he gave them vegetables instead.
17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding in every kind of literature and wisdom. And Daniel had insight into all kinds of visions and dreams.
18 Now at the end of the time specified by the king, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar.
