Daniel 10:5-13

5I lifted upH5375 my eyesH5869, and beholdH7200H2009, there was a certainH259 manH376 dressedH3847 in linenH906, with a beltH2296 of fine goldH3800 from UphazH210 around his waistH4975. 6His bodyH1472 was like berylH8658, his faceH6440 like the brillianceH4758 of lightningH1300, his eyesH5869 like flamingH784 torchesH3940, his armsH2220 and legsH4772 like the gleamH5869 of polishedH7044 bronzeH5178, andH6963 his voiceH1697 like the soundH6963 of a multitudeH1995.

7OnlyH905 IH589, DanielH1841, sawH7200 the visionH4759; the menH582 with meH5973 did notH3808 see itH7200, butH61 a greatH1419 terrorH2731 fellH5307 upon themH5921, and they ranH1272 and hid themselvesH2244.

8So IH589 was left aloneH7604H905, gazing atH7200 thisH2063 greatH1419 visionH4759. NoH3808 strengthH3581 remainedH7604 in me; my faceH1935 grewH2015H5921 deathly paleH4889, and I was powerlessH3808H6113H3581. 9I heardH8085 the soundH6963 of his wordsH1697, and as I listenedH8085, IH589H1961 fell into a deep sleepH7290H5921, with my faceH6440 to the groundH776.

10SuddenlyH2009, a handH3027 touchedH5060 me and set me tremblingH5128 onH5921 my handsH3709H3027 and kneesH1290. 11He saidH559 to meH413, “DanielH1841, you are a manH376 who is highly preciousH2532. Consider carefullyH995 the wordsH1697 thatH834 I amH595 about to sayH1696 to youH413. Stand upH5975H5921H5977, forH3588 I have nowH6258 been sentH7971 to youH413.”

And when he had saidH1696 thisH2088 to meH5973H1697, I stood upH5975 tremblingH7460.

12“Do notH408 be afraidH3372, DanielH1841,” he saidH559, “forH3588 fromH4480 the firstH7223 dayH3117 thatH834 you purposedH5414 to understandH995 and to humbleH6031 yourself beforeH6440 your GodH430, your wordsH1697 were heardH8085, and IH589 have comeH935 in response to themH1697. 13However, the princeH8269 of the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539 opposedH5975 meH5048 for twenty-oneH6242H259 daysH3117H2009. Then MichaelH4317, oneH259 of the chiefH7223 princesH8269, cameH935 to help meH5826, for IH589 had been leftH3498 thereH8033 withH681 the kingsH4428 of PersiaH6539.
