10 But the principal court official said to Daniel: “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned your food and drink. What if he should see you looking worse in appearance than the other youths* of your age? You would make me* guilty before the king.”

10 So the principal court official said to Daniel: “I am in fear of my lord* the king, who has appointed YOUR food and YOUR drink.+ Why, then, should he see YOUR faces dejected-looking in comparison with the children who are of the same age as YOURS, and [why] should YOU have to make my head guilty to the king?”

10 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.

10 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.

10 And the chief eunuch said to Daniel “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned your food and drink: why should he see your faces looking mopy in comparison with the boys of the same age, and you make me lose my standing with the king?”
