Daniel
Daniel 10:8–10
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.
10Suddenly, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.
