Daniel

Daniel 10:1–3

¹In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, and it concerned a great conflict.^a And the understanding of the message was given to him in a vision.

²In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three full weeks. ³I 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.
