Daniel 10:8-12 ▼

8 So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my natural appearance grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.

9 Yet I heard the sound of his words, and when I heard the sound of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.

10 Look, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.

11 He said to me, |Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for I have now been sent to you.| And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.

12 Then he said to me, |Do not be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I have come because of your words.
