Daniel 10:15-21 ▼

15 When he said this to me, I bowed down with my face touching the ground and was silent.

16 Then someone who looked like a human touched my lips. I opened my mouth and began to talk. I said to the person standing in front of me, |Sir, because of this vision, pain has overwhelmed me, and I'm helpless.

17 How can I talk to you, sir? I have no strength left, and the wind has been knocked out of me.|

18 Again, the person who looked like a human touched me, and I became stronger.

19 He said, |Don't be afraid. You are highly respected. Everything is alright! Be strong! Be strong!| As he talked to me, I became stronger. I said, |Sir, tell me what you came to say. You have strengthened me.|

20 He asked, |Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight the commander of Persia. When I go, the commander of Greece will come.

21 However, I will tell you what is inscribed in the true writings. No one will support me when I fight these commanders except your commander, Michael.
