Daniel 10:11

Verse 11 of 21. The 10th of 12 chapters in Daniel, in The Major Prophets.

7I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me didn’t see the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.

8So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; for my face grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.

9Yet I heard the voice of his words. When I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.

10Behold, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.

11He said to me, “Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have been sent to you, now.” When he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.

12Then he said to me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come for your words’ sake.

13But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me because I remained there with the kings of Persia.

14Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.”

15When he had spoken these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and was mute.
