¹⁶And suddenly one with the likeness of a man^b touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and said to the one standing before me, “My lord, because of the vision, I am overcome with anguish, and I have no strength. ¹⁷How can I, your servant, speak with you, my lord? Now I have no strength, nor is any breath left in me.”
