meat And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's {meat}, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king. meat But Daniel purposed 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 requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. meat 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. meat Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's {meat}: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants. meat And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's {meat}. meat Thus Melzar took away the portion of their {meat}, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse. meat The leaves thereof [were] fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it [was] {meat} for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it. meat Whose leaves [were] fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it [was] {meat} for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation: meat Yea, they that feed of the portion of his {meat} shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain. ~~~~~~
