Daniel 1:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not be defiled with the king's table, nor with the wine which he drank: and he requested the master of the eunuchs that he might not be defiled.

⁹ And God gave to Daniel grace and mercy in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.

¹⁰ And the prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel: I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed you meat and drink: who if he should see your faces leaner than those of the other youths your equals, you shall endanger my head to the king.
