Daniel 10:5–12

^5jI lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, ^ka man clothed in linen, ^lwith a belt of fine ^mgold from Uphaz around his waist. ⁶His body was like ⁿberyl, his face ^olike the appearance of lightning, ^phis eyes like flaming torches, his arms and ^qlegs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and ^qthe sound of his words like the sound of a multitude. ^7rAnd 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. ⁸So I was left alone and saw this great vision, and ^sno strength was left in me. My radiant appearance was fearfully changed,^{2 t}and I retained no strength. ⁹Then I heard the sound of his words, ^uand as I heard the sound of his words, I fell on my face in deep sleep ^uwith my face to the ground.

¹⁰And behold, ^va hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees. ¹¹And he said to me, “O Daniel, ^wman greatly loved, ^xunderstand the words that I speak to you, and ^ystand upright, for ^znow I have been sent to you.” And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling. ¹²Then he said to me, ^a“Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you ^bset your heart to understand and ^bhumbled yourself before your God, ^cyour words have been heard, ^dand I have come because of your words.
