8 And Daniel determined in his heart that he would not defile himself with the kings food, or with the wine which he drank. So he asked of the chief of the officials that he might not defile himself.

16 So Melzar took away their food and the wine that they were to drink, and he gave them vegetables.

8 E Daniel assentou no seu coração não se contaminar com a porção do manjar do rei, nem com o vinho que ele bebia; portanto pediu ao chefe dos eunucos que lhe concedesse não se contaminar. 16 Desta sorte, o despenseiro tirou a porção do manjar deles, e o vinho que deviam beber, e lhes dava legumes.
