Daniel Is Terrified by a Vision

In the third^H7969 year^H8141 of Cyrus^H3566 king^H4428 of Persia^H6539, a [fn]message^H1697 was revealed^H1540 to Daniel^H1840, who^H834 was named^H7121^H8034 Belteshazzar^H1095; and the [fn]message^H1697 was true^H571 and it concerned great^H1419 [fn]conflict^H6635, but he understood^H995 the [fn]message^H1697 and had an understanding^H998 of the vision^H4758.

Dan 10:2

In those^H1992 days^H3117, I, Daniel^H1840, had been^H1961 mourning^H56 for three^H7969 [fn]entire^H3117 weeks^H7620.

Dan 10:3

Dan 10:3I did not eat any [fn]tasty food, nor did meat or wine enter my mouth, nor did I use any ointment at all until the entire three weeks were completed.

Dan 10:4

Dan 10:4On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, while I was by the bank of the great river, that is, the [fn]Tigris,

Dan 10:5

Dan 10:5I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man dressed in linen, whose waist had a belt of pure gold of Uphaz.

Dan 10:6

Dan 10:6His body also was like topaz, his face [fn]had the appearance of lightning, his eyes were like flaming torches, his arms and feet like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude.

Dan 10:7

Dan 10:7Now I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, while the men who were with me did not see the vision; nevertheless, a great fear fell on them, and they ran away to hide themselves.

Dan 10:8

Dan 10:8So I was left alone and saw this great vision; yet no strength was left in me, for my complexion turned to [fn]a deathly pallor, and I retained no strength.

Dan 10:9

Dan 10:9But I heard the sound of his words; and as soon as I heard the sound of his words, I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face to the ground.

Daniel Comforted

Dan 10:10

Then behold^H2009, a hand^H3027 touched^H5060 me and shook^H5128 me on my [fn]hands^H3709^H3027 and knees^H1290.

Dan 10:11

Dan 10:11And he said to me, “Daniel, [fn]you who are treasured, understand the words that I am about to tell you and stand at your place, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling.

Dan 10:12

Dan 10:12Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words.

Dan 10:13

Dan 10:13“But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was standing [fn]in my way for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.

Dan 10:14

Dan 10:14“Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the [fn]latter days, because the vision pertains to the days still future.”

Dan 10:15

When he had spoken^H1696 to me according to these^H428 words^H1697, I [fn]turned^H5414 my face^H6440 toward the ground^H776 and became^H481 speechless^H481.

Dan 10:16

Dan 10:16And behold, [fn]one who resembled a human was touching my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who was standing before me, “My lord, due to the vision [fn]anguish has come upon me, and I have retained no strength.

Dan 10:17

Dan 10:17“For how can such a servant of my lord talk with such as my lord? As for me, there remains just now no strength in me, nor has any breath been left in me.”

Dan 10:18

Then this one with human^H120 appearance^H4758 touched^H5060 me again^H3254 and strengthened^H2388 me.

Dan 10:19

Dan 10:20

Dan 10:20Then he said, “Do you [fn]understand why I came to you? But I shall now return to fight against the prince of Persia; so I am leaving, and behold, the prince of [fn]Greece is about to come.

Dan 10:21

Dan 10:21“However, I will tell you what is recorded in the writing of truth. Yet there is no one who [fn]stands firmly with me against these forces except Michael your prince.
