Daniel

Daniel 10:7–9

⁷Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men with me did not see it, but a great terror fell upon them, and they ran and hid themselves.

⁸So I was left alone, gazing at this great vision. No strength remained in me; my face grew deathly pale, and I was powerless. ⁹I heard the sound of his words, and as I listened, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground.
