Daniel 10:5-14

5I liftedH5375 my eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, there was a certainH259 manH376 1dressedH3847 in linenH906, whose waistH4975 was 2girdedH2296 with a belt of pureH3800 3goldH3800 of UphazH210. 6His bodyH1472 also was like 4berylH8658, his faceH6440 5had the appearanceH4758 of lightningH1300, 6his 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 7tumultH1995. 7Now I, DanielH1840, 8aloneH905 sawH7200 the visionH4759, while the 9menH376 whoH834 were with me did not seeH7200 the visionH4759; neverthelessH61, a greatH1419 10dreadH2731 fellH5307 on them, and they ranH1272 awayH1272 to hideH2244 themselves. 8So I was 11leftH7604 aloneH905 and sawH7200 thisH2088 greatH1419 visionH4759; yet 12noH3808 strengthH3581 was leftH7604 in me, for my 13naturalH1935 colorH1935 turnedH2015 to 14a deathlyH4889 pallorH4889, and I retainedH6113 noH3808 strengthH3581. 9But I heardH8085 the soundH6963 of his wordsH1697; and as soon as I heardH8085 the soundH6963 of his wordsH1697, I 15fellH7290 into a deepH7290 sleepH7290 on my faceH6440, with my faceH6440 to the groundH776.

10Then beholdH2009, a handH3027 16touchedH5060 me and setH5128 me tremblingH5128 on my 17handsH3709H3027 and kneesH1290. 11He saidH559 to me, “O 18DanielH1840, manH376 of 19highH2536 esteemH2536, 20understandH995 the wordsH1697 that I am about to tellH1696 you and 21standH5975 22uprightH5921H5977, for I have nowH6258 been sentH7971 to you.” And when he had spokenH1696 thisH2088 wordH1697 to me, I stoodH5975 up 23tremblingH7460. 12Then he saidH559 to me, “24Do not be afraidH3372, DanielH1840, for from the firstH7223 dayH3117 that you setH5414 your heartH3820 on understandingH995 this and on 25humblingH6031 yourself beforeH6440 your GodH430, your wordsH1697 were heardH8085, and I have comeH935 in response 26to your wordsH1697. 13But the princeH8269 of the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539 was 27withstandingH5975 me for twenty-oneH6242H259 daysH3117; then beholdH2009, 28MichaelH4317, oneH259 of the chiefH7223 princesH8269, cameH935 to helpH5826 me, for I had been leftH3498 thereH8033 with the kingsH4428 of PersiaH6539. 14Now I have comeH935 to 29giveH995 you an understandingH995 of whatH834 will happenH7136 to your peopleH5971 in the 3031latterH319 daysH3117, for the visionH2377 pertains to 32the daysH3117 yetH5750 future.”
