Daniel 10:15-19

English Standard Version

¹⁵ When he had spoken to me according to these words, ^(A)I turned my face toward the ground ^(B)and was mute. ¹⁶ And behold, ^(C)one in the likeness of the children of man ^(D)touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke. I said to him who stood before me, “O my lord, by reason of the vision pains have come upon me, and ^(E)I retain no strength. ¹⁷ How can my lord's servant talk with my lord? For now no strength remains in me, and no breath is left in me.”

¹⁸ Again ^(F)one having the appearance of a man ^(G)touched me and strengthened me. ¹⁹ And he said, ^(H)“O man greatly loved, ^(I)fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage.” And as he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
