'Youths' in the Bible

And I saw among the naive,And discerned among the youthsA young man lacking sense,

Though youths grow weary and tired,And vigorous young men stumble badly,

Young men worked at the grinding mill,And youths stumbled under loads of wood.

youths in whom was no defect, who were good-looking, showing intelligence in every branch of wisdom, endowed with understanding and discerning knowledge, and who had ability for serving in the king’s court; and he ordered him to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans.

and the commander of the officials said to Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink; for why should he see your faces looking more haggard than the youths who are your own age? Then you would make me forfeit my head to the king.”

Then let our appearance be observed in your presence and the appearance of the youths who are eating the king’s choice food; and deal with your servants according to what you see.”

At the end of ten days their appearance seemed better and they were fatter than all the youths who had been eating the king’s choice food.

As for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and intelligence in every branch of literature and wisdom; Daniel even understood all kinds of visions and dreams.
