Daniel 1:8-10

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁸ But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the yayin which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

⁹ Now G-d had brought Daniel into chesed and sympathy with the chief of the eunuchs.

¹⁰ And the chief of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear adoni hamelech, who hath appointed your meat and your drink; for why should he see your faces worse looking than the yeladim which are of your age? Then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king.
