Daniel 10:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 And said, O man, greatly beloved, fear not: [a]peace be unto thee: be strong and of good courage. And when he had spoken unto me, I [b]was strengthened, and said, Let my Lord speak: for thou hast strengthened me.
20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? but now will I return to fight with the Prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the [c]Prince of Greece shall come.
21 But I will show thee that which is decreed in the Scripture of truth: [d]and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
