Daniel 1:12-16
1:12 “Please test your servants for ten days by providing us with some vegetables to eat and water to drink.
1:13 Then compare our appearance
with that of
the young men who are eating the royal delicacies;
deal with us
in light of what you see.”
1:14 So the warden
agreed to their proposal
and tested them for ten
days.
1:15 At the end of the ten days their appearance was better and their bodies were healthier than all the young men who had been eating the royal delicacies.
1:16 So the warden removed the delicacies and the wine from their diet and gave them a diet of vegetables instead.
