Daniel 10:1-6 ▼

1 In the third year of Cyrus (possess the furnace) king of Persia (pure / splendid), a message was revealed to Daniel (God is my judge), who was called Belteshazzar (lord of the straitened's treasure). The message was true, and it concerned a great conflict (true and greatly burdensome). And the understanding of the message was given to him in a vision.

2 In those days I, Daniel (God is my judge), was mourning for three full weeks.

3 I ate no rich food, no meat or wine entered my mouth, and I did not anoint myself with oil until the three weeks were completed.

4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris (rapid),

5 I lifted up my eyes, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz (desire of fine gold) around his waist.

6 His body was like beryl, his face like the brilliance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of polished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude.
