Daniel

Daniel 10:8–11

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. ¹¹He said to me, “Daniel, you are a man who is highly precious. Consider carefully the words that I am about to say to you. Stand up, for I have now been sent to you.”

And when he had said this to me, I stood up trembling.
