Daniel 10

Daniel Is Terrified by a Vision

1

In the thirdh7969 yearh8141 of  aCyrush3566 kingh4428 of Persiah6539 a  1messageh1697 was revealedh1540 to  bDanielh1840, whoh834 was namedh7121h8034 Belteshazzarh1095; and the  1 cmessageh1697 was trueh571 and one of greath1419  2conflicth6635, but he understoodh995 the  1messageh1697 and had an  dunderstandingh998 of the visionh4758.

2

In thoseh1992a daysh3117, I, Danielh1840, had beenh1961  amourningh56 for threeh7969 entireh3117 weeksh7620.

3

I  adid not eath398 any  1tastyh2536b foodh3899, norh3808 did meath1320 or wineh3196 enterh935 my mouthh6310, norh3808 did I useh5480a any ointmenth5480a at all untilh5704 the entireh3117 threeh7969 weeksh7620 were completedh4390.

4

On the twenty-fourthh6242h702 dayh3117 of the firsth7223 monthh2320, while I was by the bankh3027 of the greath1419  ariverh5104, that is, the  1Tigrish2313,

5

I liftedh5375 my eyesh5869 and lookedh7200, and beholdh2009, there was a certainh259 manh376  adressedh3847 in linenh906, whose waisth4975 was  bgirdedh2296 with a belt of pureh3800  cgoldh3800 of Uphazh210.

6

His bodyh1472a also was like  1berylh8658, his faceh6440  2had the appearanceh4758 of lightningh1300,  ahis eyesh5869 were like flamingh784 torchesh3940, his armsh2220 and feeth4772 like the gleamh5869 of polishedh7044 bronzeh5178, and the soundh6963 of his wordsh1697 like the soundh6963 of a  3tumulth1995.

7

Now I, Danielh1840,  aaloneh905 sawh7200 the visionh4759a, while the  bmenh376 whoh834 were with me did not seeh7200 the visionh4759a; neverthelessh61, a greath1419  cdreadh2731 fellh5307 on them, and they ranh1272 awayh1272 to hideh2244 themselves.

8

So I was  alefth7604 aloneh905 and sawh7200 thish2088 greath1419 visionh4759a; yet  bnoh3808 strengthh3581b was lefth7604 in me, for my  1naturalh1935 colorh1935 turnedh2015 to  2a deathlyh4889 pallorh4889, and I retainedh6113 noh3808 strengthh3581b.

9

But I heardh8085 the soundh6963 of his wordsh1697; and as soon as I heardh8085 the soundh6963 of his wordsh1697, I  afellh7290a into a deeph7290a sleeph7290a on my faceh6440, with my faceh6440 to the groundh776.

Daniel Comforted

10

Then beholdh2009, a handh3027  atouchedh5060 me and seth5128 me tremblingh5128 on my  1handsh3709h3027 and kneesh1290.

11

He saidh559 to me, "O  aDanielh1840, manh376 of  1highh2536b esteemh2536b,  bunderstandh995 the wordsh1697 that I am about to tellh1696 you and  cstandh5975  2uprighth5921h5977, for I have nowh6258 been senth7971 to you." And when he had spokenh1696 thish2088 wordh1697 to me, I stoodh5975 up  dtremblingh7460.

12

Then he saidh559 to me, " aDo not be afraidh3372a, Danielh1840, for from the firsth7223 dayh3117 that you seth5414 your hearth3820 on understandingh995 this and on  bhumblingh6031a yourself beforeh6440 your Godh430, your wordsh1697 were heardh8085, and I have comeh935 in response  cto your wordsh1697.

13

"But the princeh8269 of the kingdomh4438 of Persiah6539 was  1withstandingh5975 me for twenty-oneh6242h259 daysh3117; then beholdh2009,  aMichaelh4317, oneh259 of the chiefh7223 princesh8269, cameh935 to helph5826 me, for I had been lefth3498 thereh8033 with the kingsh4428 of Persiah6539.

14

"Now I have comeh935 to  agiveh995 you an understandingh995 of whath834 will happenh7136a to your peopleh5971a in the  1 blatterh319 daysh3117, for the visionh2377 pertains to  cthe daysh3117 yeth5750 future."

15

When he had spokenh1696 to me according to theseh428 wordsh1697, I  1turnedh5414 my faceh6440 toward the groundh776 and becameh481  aspeechlessh481.

16

And beholdh2009,  1 aone whoh1823 resembledh1823 a humanh120 beingh1121h120 was  btouchingh5060 my lipsh8193; then I openedh6605a my mouthh6310 and spokeh1696 and saidh559 to him who was standingh5975 beforeh5048 me, "O my lordh113, as a result of the visionh4759a  2 canguishh6735c has comeh2015 upon me, and I have retainedh6113 noh3808 strengthh3581b.

17

"For  ahowh1963 canh3201 suchh2088 a servanth5650 of my lordh113 talkh1696 with suchh2088 as my lordh113? As for me, there remainsh5975 just nowh6258  bnoh3808 strengthh3581b in me, norh3808 has any breathh5397 been lefth7604 in me."

18

Then this one with humanh120 appearanceh4758 touchedh5060 me againh3254 and  astrengthenedh2388 me.

19

He saidh559, "O manh376 of  1highh2536b esteemh2536b,  ado not be afraidh3372a. Peaceh7965  2be with you; takeh2388  bcourageh2388 and be courageoush2388!" Now as soon as he spokeh1696 to me, I receivedh2388 strengthh2388 and saidh559, "May my lordh113 speakh1696, for you have  cstrengthenedh2388 me."

20

Then he saidh559, "Do you  1understandh3045 whyh4100 I cameh935 to you? But I shall nowh6258 returnh7725 to fighth3898a againsth5973 the  2princeh8269 of Persiah6539; so I am goingh3318 forthh3318, and beholdh2009, the  2 aprinceh8269 of  3Greeceh3120 is about to comeh935.

21

"Howeverh61, I will tellh5046 you what is inscribedh7559 in the writingh3791 of  atruthh571. Yet thereh369 is noh369 oneh259 who  1standsh2388 firmlyh2388 with me againsth5921 theseh428 forces excepth3588h518  bMichaelh4317 your princeh8269.
