Daniel 1:8 in Context — Daniel 1
6 E foram entre eles, dos filhos de Judá, Daniel, Ananias, Misael e Azarias,
7 Aos quais o chefe dos eunucos pôs [outros] nomes: a Daniel, Beltessazar; a Ananias, Sadraque; a Misael, Mesaque; e a Azarias, Abednego.
8 E Daniel propôs em seu coração de não se contaminar com a porção diária de alimento da comida do rei, nem no vinho que ele bebia; então pediu ao chefe dos eunucos para não se contaminar.
9 (Pois Deus concedeu a Daniel o agrado e o favor do chefe dos eunucos.)
10 E disse o chefe dos eunucos a Daniel: Tenho medo de meu senhor o rei, que determinou vossa comida e vossa bebida; pois, e se ele perceber que vossos rostos estão com pior aparência que os dos rapazes que são semelhantes a vós? Assim poríeis minha cabeça em risco diante do rei.
