7 And the commander of the court officials gave them names, and he called Daniel, Belteshazzar; and Hananiah, Shadrach; and Mishael, Meshach; and Azariah, Abednego.
8 Now ⌊Daniel resolved⌋* that he would not defile himself with the fine food of the king, and with ⌊the wine that he drank⌋,* and so he requested from the commander of the court officials permission so that he would not defile himself.
9 And God* gave Daniel favor and compassion ⌊before⌋* the commander of the court officials,
10 and the commander of the court officials said to Daniel, "I am afraid of my lord, the king, who has determined your food and your drink, for ⌊why should⌋* he see your face having a worse appearance than the young men who ⌊are your age⌋?* Then you will endanger my head with the king."
