Daniel 10:1-6 ▼

1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a word was revealed to Daniel, of whom his name is called Belteshazzar. And the word was true and the conflict great; and he understood the word, and understanding of the vision was unto him.

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

3 Desirable food I did not eat, and meat and wine did not come into my mouth, and I did not anoint myself at all until the fulfilling of three weeks of days.

4 And on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was on the side of the great river—it is the Tigris—

5 and I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, one man clothed in linen, and his loins girded with gold of Uphaz.

6 And his body was like beryl, and his face like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes like torches of fire, and his arms and feet like an eye of polished bronze, and the voice of his speaking was like the voice of a multitude.
