DAN C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C10 C11 C12
10 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a word was revealed to Daniel, who was named Belteshazzar. The word was true, and it was a great conflict. He understood the word and had an understanding of the vision. 2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three whole weeks. 3 I ate no tasty food, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all until three entire weeks were completed. 4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was on the bank of the great river (that is, the Tigris), 5 I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man dressed in linen, whose waist was girded with a belt of pure gold from Uphaz. 6 His body was like topaz, his face was like the appearance of lightning, his eyes were like flaming torches, his arms and his feet were like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words was like the sound of a multitude. 7 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision. However, a great trembling fell on them, and they ran away to hide themselves. 8 So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; my complexion turned to deathly pale, and I retained no strength. 9 Then I heard the sound of his words, and as I heard the sound of his words, I fell on my face in a deep sleep with my face to the ground.
10 Then behold, a hand touched me, and set me trembling on my knees and the palms of my hands. 11 He said to me, “O Daniel, man greatly treasured, understand the words that I am about to speak to you. Stand upright, for now I have been sent to you.” When he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling. 12 Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come because of your words. 13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me 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.[fn] 14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is for days yet to come.” 15 While he was speaking to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and was unable to speak. 16 And behold, one in the likeness of the sons of man touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who stood before me: “O my lord, pains have come upon me because of the vision; I retain no strength. 17 How can such a servant of my lord talk with such as my lord? As for me, there remains now no strength in me, and there is no breath left in me.”
18 Again the one with the appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me. 19 He said, “Do not be afraid, O man greatly treasured. May peace be to you! Be strong and be strong!” While he was speaking to me, I was strengthened and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.” 20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? But now I will return to fight against the prince of Persia. When I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come. 21 But I will tell you what is inscribed in the Book of Truth. There is no one who stands strong with me against these, except Michael your prince.”
Instead of kings of Persia, some ancient copies have prince of the kings of Persia.
