Prophecies Concerning Persia and Greece

^10 (A)Suddenly, a hand touched me, which made me tremble on my knees and on the palms of my hands. ¹¹ And he said to me, “O Daniel, ^(B)man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you.” While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling.

^13 (A)But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, ^(B)Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia.

²⁰ Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? And now I must return to fight ^(A)with the prince of Persia; and when I have gone forth, indeed the prince of Greece will come. ²¹ But I will tell you what is noted in the Scripture of Truth. (No one upholds me against these, ^(B)except Michael your prince.
