Transcription: The Babylonians did their best to purge the young Jews of their heritage. They forced on them new pagan names and plied them with wine and food that had been offered to idols. Even the study course for diplomats in training was distasteful to a Jew. It covered sorcery, magic, and a pagan multi-god religion. Daniel and his three friends overcame these obstacles and excelled enough to attract the attention of the king who had to take notice. The four were ten times more impressive than anyone else in the kingdom.
