Daniel 10:4-9

4On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I was by the great Tigris River.

5When I looked up, I saw a man dressed in linen, and he had a belt made of gold from Uphaz around his waist.

6His body was like beryl. His face looked like lightning. His eyes were like flaming torches. His arms and legs looked like polished bronze. When he spoke, his voice sounded like the roar of a crowd.

7I, Daniel, was the only one who saw the vision. The men with me didn’t see the vision. Yet, they started to tremble violently, and they quickly hid themselves.

8So I was left alone to see this grand vision. I had no strength left in me. My face turned deathly pale, and I was helpless.

9I heard the man speak, and as I listened to his words, I fainted facedown on the ground.
