10:1 In
the
third
year
of
Cyrus
king
of
Persia
a
word
was
revealed
to
Daniel,
who
was
named
Belteshazzar.
And
the
word
was
true,
and
it
was
a
great
conflict.
And
he
understood
the
word
and
had
understanding
of
the
vision.
10:2 In
those
days
I,
Daniel,
was
mourning
for
three
weeks.
10:3 I
ate
no
delicacies,
no
meat
or
wine
entered
my
mouth,
nor
did
I
anoint
myself
at
all,
for
the
full
three
weeks.
10:4 On
the
twenty-fourth
day
of
the
first
month,
as
I
was
standing
on
the
bank
of
the
great
river
(that
is,
the
Tigris)
10:5 I
lifted
up
my
eyes
and
looked,
and
behold,
a
man
clothed
in
linen,
with
a
belt
of
fine
gold
from
Uphaz
around
his
waist.
10:6 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
sound
of
a
multitude.
10:7 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.
10:8 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.
10:9 Then
I
heard
the
sound
of
his
words,
and
as
I
heard
the
sound
of
his
words,
I
fell
on
my
face
in
deep
sleep
with
my
face
to
the
ground.
10:10 And
behold,
a
hand
touched
me
and
set
me
trembling
on
my
hands
and
knees.
10:11 And
he
said
to
me,
"O
Daniel,
man
greatly
loved,
understand
the
words
that
I
speak
to
you,
and
stand
upright,
for
now
I
have
been
sent
to
you."
And
when
he
had
spoken
this
word
to
me,
I
stood
up
trembling.
10:12 Then
he
said
to
me,
"Fear
not,
Daniel,
for
from
the
first
day
that
you
set
your
heart
to
understand
and
humbled
yourself
before
your
God,
your
words
have
been
heard,
and
I
have
come
because
of
your
words.
10:13 The
prince
of
the
kingdom
of
Persia
withstood
me
twenty-one
days,
but
Michael,
one
of
the
chief
princes,
came
to
help
me,
for
I
was
left
there
with
the
kings
of
Persia,
10:14 and
came
to
make
you
understand
what
is
to
happen
to
your
people
in
the
latter
days.
For
the
vision
is
for
days
yet
to
come."
10:15 When
he
had
spoken
to
me
according
to
these
words,
I
turned
my
face
toward
the
ground
and
was
mute.
10:16 And
behold,
one
in
the
likeness
of
the
children
of
man
touched
my
lips.
Then
I
opened
my
mouth
and
spoke.
I
said
to
him
who
stood
before
me,
"O
my
lord,
by
reason
of
the
vision
pains
have
come
upon
me,
and
I
retain
no
strength.
10:17 How
can
my
lord's
servant
talk
with
my
lord
For
now
no
strength
remains
in
me,
and
no
breath
is
left
in
me."
10:18 Again
one
having
the
appearance
of
a
man
touched
me
and
strengthened
me.
10:19 And
he
said,
"O
man
greatly
loved,
fear
not,
peace
be
with
you;
be
strong
and
of
good
courage."
And
as
he
spoke
to
me,
I
was
strengthened
and
said,
"Let
my
lord
speak,
for
you
have
strengthened
me."
10:20 Then
he
said,
"Do
you
know
why
I
have
come
to
you
But
now
I
will
return
to
fight
against
the
prince
of
Persia;
and
when
I
go
out,
behold,
the
prince
of
Greece
will
come.
10:21 But
I
will
tell
you
what
is
inscribed
in
the
book
of
truth:
there
is
none
who
contends
by
my
side
against
these
except
Michael,
your
prince.
