Daniel’s Resolve

8 Now Daniel resolved*Literally "Daniel placed upon his heart" that he would not defile himself with the fine food of the king, and with the wine that he drank,*Literally "the wine of his drink" and so he requested from the commander of the court officials permission so that he would not defile himself. 16 So*Literally "And it happened" the guard continued to withhold*Literally "he was … withdrawing" their fine food and the wine of their drink, and he gave them*Hebrew "to them" vegetables.
