My strength left me, and my complexion grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.(C) 9 When[a] I heard the sound of his words, I fell into a trance, face to the ground.(D)

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.(F) 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.(G)

there was silence; then I heard a voice:
