Daniel 10:1 In the third7969 year8141 of Cyrus3566 king4428 of Persia6539 a thing1697 was revealed1540 to Daniel,1840 whose name8034 was called7121 Belteshazzar;1095 and the thing1697 was true,571 even a great1419 warfare:6635 and he understood995 the thing,1697 and had understanding998 of the vision.47582 In those days3117 I, Daniel,1840 was mourning56 three7969 whole3117 weeks.76203 I ate398 no pleasant2532 bread,3899 neither came935 flesh1320 nor wine3196 into my mouth,6310 neither did I anoint5480 myself at all,5480 until three7969 whole3117 weeks7620 were fulfilled.43904 In the four702 and twentieth6242 day3117 of the first7223 month,2320 as I was by the side3027 of the great1419 river,5104 which is Hiddekel,23135 I lifted up5375 my eyes,5869 and looked,7200 and behold, a259 man376 clothed3847 in linen,906 whose thighs4975 were adorned2296 with pure gold3800 of Uphaz:2106 his body1472 also was like the beryl,8658 and his face6440 as the appearance4758 of lightning,1300 and his eyes5869 as flaming784 torches,3940 and his arms2220 and his feet4772 like5869 burnished7044 brass,5178 and the voice6963 of his words1697 like the voice6963 of a multitude.19957 I, Daniel,1840 alone saw7200 the vision;4759 for the men582 who were with me didn't see7200 the vision;4759 but61 a great1419 quaking2731 fell5307 on them, and they fled1272 to hide2244 themselves.
8 So I was left alone,7604 and saw7200 this great1419 vision,4759 and there remained7604 no strength3581 in me; for my comeliness1935 was turned2015 in me into corruption,4889 and I retained6113 no strength.35819 Yet heard8085 I the voice6963 of his words;1697 and when I heard8085 the voice6963 of his words,1697 then was I fallen into a deep sleep7290 on my face,6440 with my face6440 toward the ground.77610 Behold, a hand3027 touched5060 me, which set5128 me on my knees1290 and on the palms3709 of my hands.302711 He said559 to me, Daniel,1840 you man376 greatly beloved,2532 understand995 the words1697 that I speak1696 to you, and stand5975 upright;5977 for am I now sent7971 to you. When he had spoken1696 this word1697 to me, I stood5975 trembling.746012 Then he said559 to me, Don't be afraid,3372 Daniel;1840 for from the first7223 day3117 that you set5414 your heart3820 to understand,995 and to humble6031 yourself before6440 your God,430 your words1697 were heard:8085 and I have come935 for your words'1697 sake.
13 But the prince8269 of the kingdom4438 of Persia6539 withstood5975 me twenty -6242 one259 days;3117 but, behold, Michael,4317 one259 of the chief7223 princes,8269 came935 to help5826 me: and I remained3498 there with681 the kings4428 of Persia.653914 Now I have come935 to make you understand995 what shall happen7136 to your people5971 in the latter319 days;3117 for the vision2377 is yet for many days:311715 and when he had spoken1696 to me according to these words,1697 I set5414 my face6440 toward the ground,776 and was mute.48116 Behold, one in the likeness1823 of the sons1121 of men120 touched5060 my lips:8193 then I opened6605 my mouth,6310 and spoke1696 and said559 to him who stood5975 before me, my lord,113 by reason of the vision4759 my sorrows6735 are turned2015 on me, and I retain6113 no strength.358117 For how1963 can3201 the servant5650 of this my lord113 talk1696 with this my lord?113 for as for me, immediately6258 there remained5975 no strength3581 in me, neither was there breath5397 left7604 in me.
18 Then there touched5060 me again3254 one like the appearance4758 of a man,120 and he strengthened2388 me.
19 He said,559 "Greatly beloved2532 man,376 don't be afraid:3372 peace7965 be to you, be strong,2388 yes, be strong."2388 When he spoke1696 to me, I was strengthened,2388 and said,559 "Let my lord113 speak;1696 for you have strengthened2388 me."
Daniel 10:20 Then he said,559 "Do you know3045 why I have come935 to you? Now I will return7725 to fight3898 with the prince8269 of Persia.6539 When I go forth,3318 behold, the prince8269 of Greece3120 shall come.93521 But61 I will tell5046 you that which is inscribed7559 in the writing3791 of truth:571 and there is none259 who holds2388 with me against these, but Michael4317 your prince."8269
