Daniel 10:16-21 ▼

16 Suddenly one with human likeness touched my lips. I opened my mouth and said to the one standing in front of me, “ My lord, because of the vision, anguish overwhelms me and I am powerless .

17 How can someone like me, your servant, speak with someone like you, my lord? Now I have no strength, and there is no breath in me.”

18 Then the one with human likeness touched me again and strengthened me.

19 He said, “ Don’t be afraid, you who are treasured by God. Peace to you; be very strong ! ” As he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “ Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”

20 He said, “ Do you know why I’ve come to you ? I must return at once to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I leave, the prince of Greece will come.

21 No one has the courage to support me against them except Michael, your prince. However, I will tell you what is recorded in the book of truth.
