Daniel 10:13-21
New International Version
13 But the prince(A) of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael,(B) one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. 14 Now I have come to explain(C) to you what will happen to your people in the future,(D) for the vision concerns a time yet to come.(E)”
15 While he was saying this to me, I bowed with my face toward the ground and was speechless.(F) 16 Then one who looked like a man[a] touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and began to speak.(G) I said to the one standing before me, “I am overcome with anguish(H) because of the vision, my lord, and I feel very weak. 17 How can I, your servant, talk with you, my lord? My strength is gone and I can hardly breathe.”(I)
18 Again the one who looked like a man touched(J) me and gave me strength.(K) 19 “Do not be afraid, you who are highly esteemed,”(L) he said. “Peace!(M) Be strong now; be strong.”(N)
When he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, since you have given me strength.”(O)
20 So he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Soon I will return to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I go, the prince of Greece(P) will come; 21 but first I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth.(Q) (No one supports me against them except Michael,(R) your prince.
