* In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel Daniye #l #, whose name was called Belteshazzar Belt @sha #tstsar #; and the thing was true , but the time appointed was long : and he understood the thing , and had understanding of the vision mar #eh #. * In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks . * I 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 . * And in the four and twentieth day of the first month , as I was by the side of the great river , which is Hiddekel ; * Then I lifted up mine eyes , and looked , and behold a certain man clothed in linen , whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz : * His 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 . * And I Daniel alone saw the vision mar #ah #: for the men that were with me saw not the vision mar #ah #; but a great quaking fell upon them , so that they fled to hide themselves . * Therefore I was left alone , and saw this great vision mar #ah #, and there remained no strength in me : for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption , and I retained no strength . * Yet 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 . * And , behold , an hand touched me , which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands . * And he said unto me , O Daniel Daniye #l #, 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 . * Then said he unto me , Fear not , Daniel Daniye #l #: 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 . * But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days : but , lo , Michael Miyka #el #, one of the chief princes , came to help me ; and I remained there with the kings of Persia . * Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days : for yet the vision is for many days . * And when he had spoken such words unto me , I set my face toward the ground , and I became dumb . * And , 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 . * For 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 . * Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man , and he strengthened me , * And 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 . * Then 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 . * But 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 .
