Daniel 10:8-19

8So I was leftH7604 aloneH905, and sawH7200 this greatH1419 visionH4759, and there remainedH7604 no strengthH3581 in me; for my comeliness was turnedH2015 in me into corruption, and I retainedH6113 no strengthH3581. 9Yet heardH8085 I the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697; and when I heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697, then wasH1961 I fallen into a deep sleep on my faceH6440, with my faceH6440 toward the groundH776.

10And, behold, a handH3027 touchedH5060 me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palmsH3709 of my handsH3027. 11And he saidH559 unto me, O DanielH1840, thou manH376 greatly beloved, understandH995 the wordsH1697 that I speakH1696 unto thee, and standH5975 upright; for unto thee am I nowH6258 sentH7971. And when he had spokenH1696 this wordH1697 unto me, I stoodH5975 trembling. 12Then saidH559 he unto me, FearH3372 not, DanielH1840; for from the firstH7223 dayH3117 that thou didst setH5414 thy heartH3820 to understandH995, and to humble thyself before thy GodH430, thy wordsH1697 were heardH8085: and I am comeH935 for thy words’ sake. 13But the princeH8269 of the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539 withstood me oneH259 and twentyH6242 daysH3117; but, lo, MichaelH4317, oneH259 of the chiefH8269 princesH8269, cameH935 to helpH5826 me: and I remainedH3498 there with the kingsH4428 of PersiaH6539. 14Now I am comeH935 to make thee understandH995 what shall befall thy peopleH5971 in the latterH319 daysH3117; for the visionH2377 is yetH5750 for many daysH3117. 15And when he had spokenH1696 unto me according to these wordsH1697, I setH5414 my faceH6440 toward the groundH776, and was dumb. 16And, behold, one in the likenessH1823 of the sonsH1121 of menH120 touchedH5060 my lipsH8193: then I openedH6605 my mouthH6310, and spake and saidH559 unto him that stoodH5975 before me, O my lordH113, by reason of the visionH4759 my sorrows are turnedH2015 upon me, and I retainH6113 no strengthH3581. 17For howH1963 can the servantH5650 of this my lordH113 talk with this my lordH113? for as for me, straightway there remainedH7604 no strengthH3581 in me, neither was there breathH5397 leftH7604 in me.

18Then there touchedH5060 me again one like the appearanceH4758 of a manH120, and he strengthenedH2388 me. 19And he saidH559, O manH376 greatly beloved, fearH3372 not: peaceH7965 be unto thee, be strongH2388, yea, be strongH2388. And when he spake unto me, I was strengthenedH2388, and saidH559, Let my lordH113 speakH1696; for thou hast strengthenedH2388 me.
