And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths that are of your own age? so would ye endanger my head with the king.

And the captain of the unsexed servants said to Daniel, I am in fear of my lord the king, who has given orders about your food and your drink; what if he sees you looking less happy than the other young men of your generation? then you would have put my head in danger from the king.

Και ειπεν ο αρχιευνουχος προς τον Δανιηλ, Εγω φοβουμαι τον κυριον μου τον βασιλεα, οστις διεταξε το φαγητον σας και το ποτον σας, μηποτε ιδη τα προσωπα σας σκυθρωποτερα παρα των νεανισκων των συνομηλικων σας, και ενοχοποιησητε την κεφαλην μου εις τον βασιλεα.

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.
