Daniel 10:16-21
English Standard Version
16 And behold, (A)one in the likeness of the children of man (B)touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke. I said to him who stood before me, “O my lord, by reason of the vision pains have come upon me, and (C)I retain no strength. 17 How can my lord's servant talk with my lord? For now no strength remains in me, and no breath is left in me.”
18 Again (D)one having the appearance of a man (E)touched me and strengthened me. 19 And he said, (F)“O man greatly loved, (G)fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage.” And as he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.” 20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? But now I will return to fight against the (H)prince of Persia; and when I go out, behold, the prince of (I)Greece will come. 21 But I will tell you (J)what is inscribed in the book of truth: there is none who contends by my side against these except (K)Michael, your prince.

Daniel 10:16-21
New International Version
16 Then one who looked like a man[a] touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and began to speak.(A) I said to the one standing before me, “I am overcome with anguish(B) 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.”(C)
18 Again the one who looked like a man touched(D) me and gave me strength.(E) 19 “Do not be afraid, you who are highly esteemed,”(F) he said. “Peace!(G) Be strong now; be strong.”(H)
When he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, since you have given me strength.”(I)
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(J) will come; 21 but first I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth.(K) (No one supports me against them except Michael,(L) your prince.
