Daniel 10:4-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁴ On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, while I was by the bank of the great ^(A)river, that is, the ^[a]Tigris, ⁵ I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a certain man ^(B)dressed in linen, whose waist was ^(C)girded with a belt of pure ^(D)gold of Uphaz. ⁶ His body also was like ^[b]beryl, his face ^[c]had the appearance of lightning, ^(E)his eyes were like flaming torches, his arms and feet like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a ^[d]tumult. ⁷ Now I, Daniel, ^(F)alone saw the vision, while the ^(G)men who were with me did not see the vision; nevertheless, a great ^(H)dread fell on them, and they ran away to hide themselves. ⁸ So I was ^(I)left alone and saw this great vision; yet ^(J)no strength was left in me, for my ^[e]natural color turned to ^[f]a deathly pallor, and I retained no strength. ⁹ But I heard the sound of his words; and as soon as I heard the sound of his words, I ^(K)fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face to the ground.
