Daniel 10:8-12

8So I was 1left alone and saw this great vision; yet 2no strength was left in me, for my 3natural color turned to 4a deathly pallor, and I retained no strength. 9But I heard the sound of his words; and as soon as I heard the sound of his words, I 5fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face to the ground.

10Then behold, a hand 6touched me and set me trembling on my 7hands and knees. 11He said to me, “O 8Daniel, man of 9high esteem, 10understand the words that I am about to tell you and 11stand 12upright, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up 13trembling. 12Then he said to me, “14Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on 15humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response 16to your words.
