Daniel 1:14
12 “Please test your servants for ten days. Let us be given only vegetables to eat and water to drink.
13 Then compare our appearances with those of the young men who are eating the royal food, and deal with your servants according to what you see.”
So he consented to this and tested them for ten days.
15 And at the end of ten days, they looked healthier and better nourished than all the young men who were eating the king’s food.
16 So the steward continued to withhold their choice food and the wine they were to drink, and he gave them vegetables instead.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
