12〔在但以理一章里,我们首先看见〕一个人物,就是争战得胜的将军尼布甲尼撒,他刚从耶路撒冷回到巴比伦,带着许多俘虏跟在后面。第二,我们看见被掳的人中有四个卓越的年轻人。第三,这几个年轻人特别从被掳的人中选上,有王自己所用的膳食摆在他们面前。第四,他们立定心志为着神,拒吃王膳,只吃蔬菜。然而,他们四个长得非常可爱、快乐并健康。结果,神与他们同在,他们有神的智慧、聪明,能领会事情,胜过迦勒底的一切术士十倍(但以理书生命读经,三七至三八页)。
12[In Daniel 1 we first see] the figure of a fighting, overcoming general, Nebuchadnezzar, who has just returned from Jerusalem to Babylon with many captives following behind him. Second, we see four brilliant young men among the captives. Third, these young men are specially chosen from among the captives and then presented with the king’s choice food. Fourth, they set their hearts to keep themselves for God, and they reject the royal food and eat vegetables only. Nevertheless, the four become very pleasant, happy, and healthy. Then as a result, God’s presence, wisdom, and insight are with them, and they can understand things ten times better than all the others in Nebuchadnezzar’s realm. (Life-study of Daniel, pp. 33-34)
