Daniel 10:10-14

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁰ But then a hand touched me and roused me to my hands and knees.^{(A) 11} He said to me, “Daniel, greatly beloved, pay attention to the words that I am going to speak to you. Stand on your feet, for I have now been sent to you.” So while he was speaking this word to me, I stood up trembling.^{(B) 12} He said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.^{(C) 13} But the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me twenty-one days. So Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, and I left him there with the prince of the kingdom of Persia^{[a](D) 14} and have come to help you understand what is to happen to your people at the end of days. For there is a further vision for those days.”^(E)
