Evangelical Heritage Version

Daniel’s Vision of a Messenger

10 In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia,^[a] a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar. Now the message was true. It was about a great war. He understood the message, and understanding came to him through the vision.

² In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three whole weeks. ³ I ate no expensive food, and no meat or wine entered my mouth. I did not anoint myself at all until the completion of three whole weeks.
