If you are seen
to be wasting away,
I'm afraid of what my lord,
the king, will do.
He will have my head.
And we would
not wish it so.
Therefore,
put your servants to the test.
For 10 days give us nothing
but vegetables to eat...
and water to drink.
Then compare our appearance...
to that of the other young men
who eat the royal food.
- Ten days?
- Ten days.
And if after that your
appearance is found wanting?
Then we will
do as you wish.
Your request was polite.
I'm rather surprised
it was honored.
I have no doubt the Lord
favorably disposed his heart...
to hear our request.
By the end of 10 days,
my companions and I looked
healthier and better-nourished...
than the young men
who ate the royal food,
and so the chief eunuch
allowed us to continue...

a foreign king.

Nebuchadnezzar himself.
The king's executioner,
Arioch, will be in the chamber.

the princes of Judah,
preserved by the
right hand of your mercy...
and tutored by the
left hand of your wisdom.
They are come before you now for
judgment as to their training.
They are Belteshazzar,
Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego.
Who am I?
You are Nebuchadnezzar,
son and heir of Nabopolassar,
king of Babylon.
You have destroyed
Nineveh the Mighty,
seat of Assyria,
and taken from her hand
the scepter of nations.
You are the commander of
commanders and king of kings,
from the rising of the sun unto
its setting in the western sea,
none more powerful than thee.
You, come forth.
sons of my former enemies,
to serve in my court?
Because you have spared
the lives of our people...
who were delivered
into your hand...
and because the word
of the prophet Jeremiah...
has come unto us saying,
"This is what
the Lord God Almighty,
"the God of Israel,
says to all those...

from Jerusalem to Babylon,
"'Build houses,
and settle down.
'"Plant gardens,
and eat what they produce.
Marry and have
sons and daughters.
'"Also, seek the
prosperity of the city...
'"to which I have
carried you into exile.
Pray to the Lord for it,
for if it prospers,
