Daniel 10:1-5 ▼

1 In the third year of King Cyrus of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel (who was also called Belteshazzar). This message was true and concerned a great war. He understood the message and gained insight by the vision.

2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three whole weeks.

3 I ate no choice food; no meat or wine came to my lips, nor did I anoint myself with oil until the end of those three weeks.

4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month I was beside the great river, the Tigris.

5 I looked up and saw a man clothed in linen; around his waist was a belt made of gold from Upaz.
