The Son of Man Is Given Dominion

¹³ “I saw in the night visions,

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.

¹⁸ Again ^(A)one having the appearance of a man ^(B)touched me and strengthened me.

²⁶ And above the expanse over their heads there was ^(A)the likeness of a throne, ^(B)in appearance ^(C)like sapphire;^[a] and seated above the likeness of a throne was ^(D)a likeness with a human appearance.

¹³ and in the midst of the lampstands ^(A)one like ^(B)a son of man, ^(C)clothed with a long robe and ^(D)with a golden sash around his chest.
