Daniel 10:5-9 [42.184, 43.081 {686, 1165}
Right column]
10:5 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, whose waist was girded with a belt of pure gold of Uphaz.
6 His body also was like beryl, and% his face had the appearance of lightning, and% 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 tumult.
7 Now I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, while the men who were with me did not see the
vision; nevertheless, a great dread fell on them, and
they ran away to hide themselves.
8 So I was left alone and saw this great vision; yet no strength was left in me, for my natural color turned to 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 fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face to
the ground.

Left Column]
10:13 "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold,
Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had
been left there with the kings of Persia.
14 "Now I have come
to give you an understanding
sharpen
you of what will
happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision pertains to the days
yet future."
15 And when he had spoken to me according to these words, I
turned my face toward the ground and became speechless.
16 And behold, one who
resembled a human
being was touching my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke, and said to him who was standing before me, "O my lord, as a result of the vision
anguish has come upon me, and I have retained no strength.
