Daniel 10:15–21

15 And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set umy face toward the ground, and vI became dumb. 16 And, behold, wone xlike the similitude of the sons of men gytouched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and ceI have retained no strength. 17 For how can ||the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me. 18 Then there came again and gtouched me wone like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me, 19 And said, zO man greatly beloved, afear not: peace be unto thee, bbe 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 cthe prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of dGrecia shall come. 21 But I will shew thee ethat which is noted in the scripture of ftruth: and there is none that †holdeth with me in these things, but cMichael your prince.
