Daniel 10:18-21
King James Version
18 Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
19 And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.
21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.

Lexham English Bible
18 And he again touched[a] me, the one in the form of a human,[b] and he strengthened me. 19 And he said, “You must not fear, O beloved man. Peace be to you;[c] be strong and be courageous!” And when he spoke[d] with me, I was strengthened and I said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.” 20 Then he asked, “Do you know why I have come to you? And now I return to fight against the prince of Persia and I myself[e] am going, and look,[f] the prince of Javan[g] will come. 21 However, I will tell you what is inscribed[h] in the book of truth, and there is not one who contends with me against these beings except[i] Michael, your prince.”
