Daniel 10:16-21

16And behold, 1 2one who resembled a human was 3touching my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who was standing before me, “My lord, due to the vision 4 5anguish has come upon me, and I have retained no strength. 17For 6how can such a servant of my lord talk with such as my lord? As for me, there remains just now 7no strength in me, nor has any breath been left in me.”

18Then this one with human appearance touched me again and 8strengthened me. 19And he said, “9You who are treasured, 10do not be afraid. Peace be to you; take 11courage and be courageous!” Now as soon as he spoke to me, I felt strengthened and said, “May my lord speak, for you have 12strengthened me.” 20Then he said, “Do you 13understand why I came to you? But I shall now return to fight against the prince of Persia; so I am leaving, and behold, the 14prince of 15Greece is about to come. 21However, I will tell you what is recorded in the writing of 16truth. Yet there is no one who 17stands firmly with me against these forces except 18Michael your prince.
