*
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel ,
who was named Belteshaz '
zar .
And the word was true ,
and it was a great conflict .
And he understood the word and had understanding of the vision .
*
In those days I ,
Daniel ,
was mourning for three weeks .
*
I ate no delicacies ,
no meat or wine entered my mouth ,
nor did I anoint myself at all ,
for the full three weeks .
*
On the twenty-fourth day of the first month ,
as I was standing on the bank of the great river ,
that is ,
the Tigris ,
*
I lifted up my eyes and looked ,
and behold ,
a man clothed in linen ,
whose loins were girded with gold of Uphaz .
*
His body was like beryl ,
his face like the appearance of lightning ,
his eyes like flaming torches ,
his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze ,
and the sound of his words like 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 upon them ,
and they fled to hide themselves .
*
So I was left alone and saw this great vision ,
and no strength was left in me ;
my radiant appearance was fearfully changed ,
and I retained no strength .
*
Then I heard the sound of his words ;
and when I heard the sound of his words ,
I fell on my face in a deep sleep with my face to the ground .
*
And behold ,
a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees .
*
And he said to me , "
O Daniel ,
man greatly beloved ,
give heed to the words that I speak to you ,
and stand upright ,
for now I have been sent to you ."
While he was speaking this word to me ,
I stood up trembling .
