Daniel 1:10
And the prince of the *eunuchs said unto Daniel, sI fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your *meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces 2*worse liking than the children which are of your 3sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king.
And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king.
NKJV: And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and drink. For why should he see your faces looking worse than the young men who are your age? Then you would endanger my head before the king.”
ESV: and the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who assigned your food and your drink; for why should he see that you were in worse condition than the youths who are of your own age? So you would endanger my head with the king.”
