Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 1 of Daniel. Daniel’s proposal to test a different diet for ten days turns religious faithfulness into a practical and verifiable decision. The narrative does not present the diet as a universal spiritual formula, but as a concrete part of the situation of these young men in Babylon. The favorable response of the overseer also shows how God can preserve His servants through ordinary circumstances and prudent decisions.

Und laß dann vor dir unsre Gestalt und der Knaben, so von des Königs Speise essen, besehen; und darnach du sehen wirst, darnach schaffe mit deinen Knechten.
Parezcan luego delante de ti nuestros rostros, y los rostros de los muchachos que comen de la ración de la comida del rey; y según que vieres, harás con tus siervos.
Después, que se examinen ante ti nuestro aspecto y el aspecto de los jóvenes que comen la comida del rey. Trata a tus siervos según lo que veas».
tu regarderas ensuite notre visage et celui des jeunes gens qui mangent les mets du roi, et tu agiras avec tes serviteurs d'après ce que tu auras vu.
E poi sieno riguardate in presenza tua le nostre facce, e quelle de’ fanciulli che mangiano delle vivande reali; e allora fa’ co’ tuoi servitori, come tu avviserai.
Então se examine diante de ti a nossa aparência, e a aparência dos jovens que comem a porção das iguarias do rei; e, conforme vires, procederás para com os teus servos.
然後你親自觀察我們的面貌和那用王膳的少年的面貌;就照你所觀察的待你的僕人吧!」
