Daniel 10:8-12 ▼

8 I was left alone , looking at this great vision. No strength was left in me; my face grew deathly pale, and I was powerless .

9 I heard the words he said, and when I heard them I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground.

10 Suddenly, a hand touched me and raised me to my hands and knees.

11 He said to me, “ Daniel, you are a man treasured by God. Understand the words that I’m saying to you. Stand on your feet, for I have now been sent to you.” After he said this to me, I stood trembling.

12 “ Don’t be afraid, Daniel,” he said to me, “ for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your prayers were heard. I have come because of your prayers.
