Daniel’s Vision of a Man

10 In the third year of Cyrus^(A) king of Persia, a revelation was given to Daniel (who was called Belteshazzar).^(B) Its message was true^(C) and it concerned a great war.^[a] The understanding of the message came to him in a vision.

⁹ He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed^(A) until the time of the end.^(B)

⁴ But you, Daniel, roll up and seal^(A) the words of the scroll until the time of the end.^(B) Many will go here and there^(C) to increase knowledge.”

¹⁰ Then he told me, “Do not seal up^(A) the words of the prophecy of this scroll,^(B) because the time is near.^(C)

¹⁴ Now I have come to explain^(A) to you what will happen to your people in the future,^(B) for the vision concerns a time yet to come.^(C)”

²⁷ “Son of man, the Israelites are saying, ‘The vision he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies about the distant future.’^(A)

⁴ And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write;^(A) but I heard a voice from heaven^(B) say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.”^(C)

³ Then I told her, “You are to live with me many days; you must not be a prostitute or be intimate with any man, and I will behave the same way toward you.”

⁴ For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince,^(A) without sacrifice^(B) or sacred stones,^(C) without ephod^(D) or household gods.^(E)
