Daniel:10:1-11

*
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia ,
a thing was revealed to Daniel ,
whose name was called Belteshazzar .
And the thing was true ,
and a great conflict .
And he understood the thing and had understanding of the vision .
*
In those days ,
I ,
Daniel ,
was mourning three weeks of days .
*
I ate no food for delight ,
and no flesh or wine came into my mouth .
I did not anoint myself at all until three weeks of days were fulfilled .
*
And in the twenty fourth day of the first month ,
as I was by the hand of the great river ,
which is Tigris ,
*
then I lifted up my eyes and looked :
And behold !
A certain man was clothed in linen ,
whose loins were wrapped in fine gold from Uphaz .
*
His body was also like the beryl ,
and his face looked like lightning .
And his eyes were like torches of fire ;
and his arms and his feet in color like polished bronze ;
and the sound of his words were as the noise of a multitude .
*
And I ,
Daniel ,
alone saw the vision .
For the men who were with me did not see the vision .
But a great trembling fell on them so that they fled to hide themselves .
*
Then I was left alone ,
and I saw his great vision ,
and there remained no strength in me .
For my glory was turned within me into corruption ,
and I kept no strength .
*
Yet I heard the sound of his words .
And when I heard the sound of his words ,
then I was on my face ,
stunned ,
and my face was toward the ground .
*
And ,
behold ,
a hand touched me and set me shaking on my knees and the palms of my hands .
*
And he said to me ,
O Daniel ,
a man greatly beloved ,
understand the words that I speak to you and stand up .
For I am now sent to you .
And when he had spoken this word to me ,
I stood ,
trembling .
