Daniel 10:10-21

10Then beholdH2009, a handH3027 1touchedH5060 me and shookH5128 me on my 2handsH3709H3027 and kneesH1290. 11And he saidH559 to me, “3DanielH1840, 4you whoH376 are treasuredH2536, 5understandH995 the wordsH1697 that I am about to tellH1696 you and 6standH5975 at your placeH5977, for I have nowH6258 been sentH7971 to you.” And when he had spokenH1696 thisH2088 wordH1697 to me, I stoodH5975 up 7tremblingH7460. 12Then he saidH559 to me, “8Do not beH3372 afraidH3372, DanielH1840, for from the firstH7223 dayH3117 that you setH5414 your heartH3820 on understandingH995 this and on 9humblingH6031 yourself beforeH6440 your GodH430, your wordsH1697 were heardH8085, and I have comeH935 10in response to your wordsH1697. 13But the princeH8269 of the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539 was standingH5975 11in my wayH5048 for twenty-oneH6242H259 daysH3117; then beholdH2009, 12MichaelH4317, 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 13explainH995 to you whatH834 will happenH7136 to your peopleH5971 in the 1415latterH319 daysH3117, becauseH3588 the visionH2377 pertains to 16the daysH3117 stillH5750 future.”

15When he had spokenH1696 to me according to theseH428 wordsH1697, I 17turnedH5414 my faceH6440 toward the groundH776 and becameH481 18speechlessH481. 16And beholdH2009, 1920one whoH1823 resembledH1823 a humanH1121H120 was 21touchingH5060 my lipsH8193. Then I openedH6605 my mouthH6310 and spokeH1696 and saidH559 to him who was standingH5975 beforeH5048 me, “My lordH113, due to the visionH4759 2223anguishH6735 has comeH2015 upon me, and I have retainedH6113 noH3808 strengthH3581. 17For 24howH1963 canH3201 suchH2088 a servantH5650 of my lordH113 talkH1696 with suchH2088 as my lordH113? As for me, there remainsH5975 just nowH6258 25noH3808 strengthH3581 in me, norH3808 has any breathH5397 been leftH7604 in me.”

18Then this one with humanH120 appearanceH4758 touchedH5060 me againH3254 and 26strengthenedH2388 me. 19And he saidH559, “27You whoH376 are treasuredH2536, 28do not beH3372 afraidH3372. PeaceH7965 be to you; takeH2388 29courageH2388 and beH2388 courageousH2388!” Now as soon as he spokeH1696 to me, I feltH2388 strengthenedH2388 and saidH559, “May my lordH113 speakH1696, for you have 30strengthenedH2388 me.” 20Then he saidH559, “Do you 31understandH3045 whyH4100 I cameH935 to you? But I shall nowH6258 returnH7725 to fightH3898 againstH5973 the princeH8269 of PersiaH6539; so I am leavingH3318, and beholdH2009, the 32princeH8269 of 33GreeceH3120 is about to comeH935. 21HoweverH61, I will tellH5046 you what is recordedH7559 in the writingH3791 of 34truthH571. Yet thereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH259 who 35standsH2388 firmlyH2388 with me againstH5921 theseH428 forces exceptH3588H518 36MichaelH4317 your princeH8269.
