Daniel 1:12
“Test your servants, I beg you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink.”
Verse in context — Daniel 1
The prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths who are of your own age? so would you endanger my head with the king.
Then Daniel said to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
Test your servants, I beg you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink.
Then let our faces be looked on before you, and the face of the youths who eat of the king's dainties; and as you see, deal with your servants.
So he listened to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
