with°
the prince°

|
1:10
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. |
|
1:10
And the prince°
of the eunuchs°
said°°
unto Daniel,°
I°
fear°°°
my lord°
the king,°
who°
hath appointed°°°
your meat°
and your drink:°
for°
why°
should he see°°°
your faces°
worse liking°°
than°
the children°
which°
[are] of your sort?°
then shall ye make [me] endanger°°°
my head°
to the king.° |

thy servants,°
I beseech thee,°
ten°
days;°
and let them give°°
us pulse°
to eat,°°

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

1:13
Then let our countenances°

meat:°°
and as°
thou seest,°°
deal°°
with°
thy servants.° |
|
1:14
So he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days. |
|
1:14
So he consented°°
to them in this°
matter,°
and proved°°
them ten°
days.° |
|
1:15
And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths that did eat of the king's dainties. |
|

of the king's°
meat.°° |
|
1:16
So the steward took away their dainties, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them pulse. |
|
1:16
Thus Melzar°
took away°°°
the portion of their meat,°
and the wine°
that they should drink;°
