Daniel 10:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁵ While he was speaking these words to me, I turned my face toward the ground and was speechless.^{(A) 16} Then one in human form touched my lips, and I opened my mouth to speak and said to the one who stood before me, “My lord, because of the vision such pains have come upon me that I retain no strength.^{(B) 17} How can my lord’s servant talk with my lord? For I am exhausted;^[a] no strength remains in me, and no breath is left in me.”
