'Dainties' in the Bible
Do not incline my heart to [consent to or tolerate] any evil thing,Or to practice deeds of wickednessWith men who plan and do evil;And let me not eat of their delicacies (be tempted by their gain).
Do not desire his delicacies,For it is deceptive food [offered to you with questionable motives].
Those who feasted on delicaciesAre perishing in the streets;Those reared in purple [as nobles]Embrace ash heaps.
Then let our appearance and the appearance of the young men who eat the king’s finest food be observed and compared by you, and deal with your servants in accordance with what you see.”
At the end of ten days it seemed that they were looking better and healthier than all the young men who ate the king’s finest food.
So the overseer continued to withhold their fine food and the wine they were to drink, and kept giving them vegetables.
The ripe fruits and delicacies of your soul’s desire have gone from you, and all things that were luxurious and extravagant are lost to you, never again to be found.
