Daniel 10:3

I ate no choice food; no meat or wine came to my lips, ¹  nor did I anoint myself with oil ²  until the end of those three weeks.

I ate no choice food; no meat or wine touched my lips; and I used no lotions at all until the three weeks were over.

I did not eat any tasty food, nor did meat or wine enter my mouth, nor did I use any ointment at all until the entire three weeks were completed.

All that time I had eaten no rich food or meat, had drunk no wine, and had used no fragrant oils.

I ate only plain and simple food, no seasoning or meat or wine. I neither bathed nor shaved until the three weeks were up.

I had no pleasing food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, and I put no oil on my body till three full weeks were ended.

I had eaten no rich food, no meat or wine had entered my mouth, and I had not anointed myself at all, for the full three weeks.

I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

I ate no choice food; no meat or wine came to my lips, ¹  nor did I anoint myself with oil ²  until the end of those three weeks.

¹ tn Heb “mouth.”

² sn Anointing oneself with oil (usually olive oil) was a common OT practice due to the severity of the Middle Eastern sun (cf. Ps 121:6). It was also associated with rejoicing (e.g., Prov 27:9) and was therefore usually not practiced during a period of mourning.
