Daniel 10:2-10

English Standard Version

² In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for ^(A)three weeks. ³ I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I ^(B)anoint myself at all, for ^(C)the full three weeks. ⁴ On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing ^(D)on the bank of the great river (^(E)that is, the Tigris) ^5 (F)I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, ^(G)a man clothed in linen, ^(H)with a belt of fine ^(I)gold from Uphaz around his waist. ⁶ His body was like ^(J)beryl, his face ^(K)like the appearance of lightning, ^(L)his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and ^(M)legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and ^(N)the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude. ^7 (O)And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision, but a great trembling fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves. ⁸ So I was left alone and saw this great vision, and ^(P)no strength was left in me. My radiant appearance was fearfully changed,^{[a] (Q)}and I retained no strength. ⁹ Then I heard the sound of his words, ^(R)and as I heard the sound of his words, I fell on my face in deep sleep ^(S)with my face to the ground.

¹⁰ And behold, ^(T)a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.
