Daniel 10:8-12 ▼

8 So I was left alone to see this grand vision. I had no strength left in me. My face turned deathly pale, and I was helpless.

9 I heard the man speak, and as I listened to his words, I fainted facedown on the ground.

10 Then a hand touched me and made my hands and knees shake.

11 The man said to me, |Daniel, you are highly respected. Pay attention to my words. Stand up, because I've been sent to you.| When he said this to me, I stood up, trembling.

12 He told me, |Don't be afraid, Daniel. God has heard everything that you said ever since the first day you decided to humble yourself in front of your God so that you could learn to understand things. I have come in response to your prayer.
