10In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.H7969H8141H3566H4428H6539H1697H1540H1840H8034H7121H1095H1697H571H6635H1419H995H1697H998H47582In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.H3117H1840H56H7969H3117H76203I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.H398H2532H3899H935H1320H3196H6310H5480H5480H7969H3117H7620H43904And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;H702H6242H3117H7223H2320H3027H1419H5104H23135Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:H5375H5869H7200H259H376H3847H906H4975H2296H3800H2106His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.H1472H8658H6440H4758H1300H5869H3940H784H2220H4772H5869H7044H5178H6963H1697H6963H19957And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.H1840H7200H4759H582H7200H4759H61H1419H2731H5307H1272H22448Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.H7604H7200H1419H4759H7604H3581H1935H2015H4889H6113H35819Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.H8085H6963H1697H8085H6963H1697H7290H6440H6440H77610And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.H3027H5060H5128H1290H3709H302711And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.H559H1840H376H2532H995H1697H1696H5975H5977H7971H1696H1697H5975H746012Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.H559H3372H1840H7223H3117H5414H3820H995H6031H6440H430H1697H8085H935H169713But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.H8269H4438H6539H5975H259H6242H3117H4317H259H7223H8269H935H5826H3498H681H4428H653914Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.H935H995H7136H5971H319H3117H2377H311715And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.H1696H1697H5414H6440H776H48116And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.H1823H1121H120H5060H8193H6605H6310H1696H559H5975H113H4759H6735H2015H6113H358117For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.H1963H3201H5650H113H1696H113H6258H5975H3581H5397H760418Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,H3254H5060H4758H120H238819And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.H559H376H2532H3372H7965H2388H2388H1696H2388H559H113H1696H238820Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.H559H3045H935H7725H3898H8269H6539H3318H8269H3120H93521But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.H61H5046H7559H3791H571H259H2388H4317H8269
