1599 Geneva Bible
10 1 There appeareth unto Daniel a man clothed in linen, 11 which showeth him wherefore he is sent.
1 In the [a]third year of Cyrus King of Persia, a thing was revealed unto Daniel (whose name was called Belteshazzar) and the word was true, but the time appointed was [b]long, and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
2 At the same time I Daniel was in heaviness for three weeks of days.
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three weeks of days were fulfilled.
