Daniel 10

1In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539 a thingH1697 was revealedH1540 unto DanielH1840, whoseH834 nameH8034 was calledH7121 BelteshazzarH1095; and the thingH1697 was trueH571, evenH853 a greatH1419 warfareH6635: and he understoodH995 the thingH1697, and had understandingH995 of the visionH4758. 2In thoseH1992 daysH3117 I DanielH1840 was mourningH56 threeH7969 wholeH3117 weeksH7620. 3I ateH398 noH3808 pleasant breadH3899, neitherH3808 cameH935 fleshH1320 norH3808 wineH3196 in my mouthH6310, neitherH3808 didH3808 I anointH5480 myselfH3196 at allH5704, tillH5704 threeH7969 wholeH3117 weeksH7620 were fulfilledH4390. 4And in the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the firstH7223 monthH2320, as I was by the sideH3027 of the greatH1419 riverH5104, whichH1931 is Hiddekel, 5I liftedH5375 upH5375 mine eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and beholdH2009 a manH376 clothedH3847 in linenH906, whoseH376 loinsH4975 were girdedH2296 with pureH3800 goldH3800 of UphazH210: 6his body also was like the berylH8658, and his faceH6440 as the appearanceH4758 of lightningH1300, and his eyesH5869 as lamps of fireH784, and his armsH2220 and his feetH4772 like in colour to burnishedH7044 brassH5178, and the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697 like the voiceH6963 of a multitudeH1995. 7And I DanielH1840 aloneH905 sawH7200 the visionH4759: for the menH376 that were with meH5921 sawH7200 notH3808 the visionH4759; but a greatH1419 quaking fellH5307 uponH5921 them, and they fledH1272 to hideH2244 themselvesH905. 8SoH3808 I was leftH7604 aloneH905, and sawH7200 this greatH1419 visionH4759, and there remainedH7604 noH3808 strengthH3581 in meH5921: for my comeliness was turnedH2015 in meH5921 intoH5921 corruption, and I retainedH6113 noH3808 strengthH3581. 9Yet heardH8085 I the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697: and when I heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of his wordsH1697, then was I fallenH1961 intoH5921 a deep sleep on my faceH6440, with my faceH6440 towardH5921 the groundH776. 10And, beholdH2009, a handH3027 touchedH5060 meH5921, which setH5128 meH5921 uponH5921 my kneesH1290 and uponH5921 the palmsH3709 of my handsH3027. 11And he saidH559 unto meH413, O DanielH1840, thou manH376 greatly beloved, understandH995 the wordsH1697 that I speakH1696 unto thee, and standH5975 uprightH5975; for unto thee am I nowH6258 sentH7971: and when he had spokenH1696 this wordH1697 unto meH413, I stoodH5975 tremblingH7460. 12Then saidH559 he unto meH413, FearH3372 notH408, DanielH1840; for from the firstH7223 dayH3117 that thou didst setH5414 thine heartH3820 to understandH995, and, to humble thyself beforeH6440 thy GodH430, thy wordsH1697 were heardH8085: and I am comeH935 for thy words’ sake. 13But the princeH8269 of the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539 withstood meH935 one and twentyH6242 daysH3117; but, loH2009, MichaelH4317, one of the chiefH8269 princesH8269, cameH935 to helpH5826 meH935: and I remainedH3498 there with the kingsH4428 of PersiaH6539. 14NowH3117 I am comeH935 to makeH3588 thee understandH995 whatH834 shall befall thy peopleH5971 in the latterH319 daysH3117: for the visionH2377 is yet for many daysH3117. 15and when he had spokenH1696 unto meH5414 according to theseH428 wordsH1697, I setH5414 my faceH6440 towardH6440 the groundH776, and was dumb. 16And, beholdH2009, one like the similitude of the sonsH1121 of menH120 touchedH5060 my lipsH8193: then I openedH6605 my mouthH6310, and spake and saidH559 unto him that stoodH5975 beforeH5048 meH413, O my lordH113, by reasonH5921 of the visionH4759 my sorrows are turnedH2015 uponH5921 meH413, and I retainH6113 noH3808 strengthH3581. 17For howH1963 canH3201 the servantH5650 of this my lordH113 talkH1696 with this my lordH113? for as for meH589, straightway there remainedH7604 noH3808 strengthH3581 in meH589, neitherH3808 was there breathH5397 leftH7604 in meH589. 18Then there touchedH5060 meH3254 againH3254 one like the appearanceH4758 of a manH120, and he strengthenedH2388 meH3254. 19And he saidH559, O manH376 greatly beloved, fearH3372 notH408: peaceH7965 be unto thee, be strongH2388, yeaH3588, be strongH2388. And when he spake unto meH2388, I was strengthenedH2388, and saidH559, LetH408 my lordH113 speakH1696; for thou hast strengthenedH2388 meH2388. 20Then saidH559 he, Knowest thou wherefore I am comeH935 unto thee? and nowH6258 will I returnH7725 to fightH3898 with the princeH8269 of PersiaH6539: and when I goH3318 forthH3318, loH2009, the princeH8269 of GreeceH3120 shall comeH935. 21But I will tellH5046 thee that whichH428 is inscribedH7559 in the writingH3791 of truthH571: and there is noneH369 that holdeth with meH5046 againstH5921 theseH428, but MichaelH4317 your princeH8269.
