understanding of

.

In those days I Daniel was
mourning three full
weeks .
`
In those days ,
I ,
Daniel ,
have
been
mourning three weeks of
days;
I
ate
no
pleasant
bread, neither
came
flesh nor
wine in my mouth, neither
did
I anoint
myself at all, till three whole
weeks were
fulfilled
.
desirable
bread I
have
not
eaten
, and
flesh and
wine hath
not
come
in unto
my mouth, and
I have
not
anointed
myself at all, till the
completion
of
three weeks of
days
.
And in the four
and twentieth
day of the first month, as
I was
by the side of the great river, which
is Hiddekel ;
`
And in the twenty
and fourth
day of the first month, I have
been
by the side of the great river, that
`
is '
Hiddekel :
Then
I lifted
up mine eyes, and looked
, and behold
a certain man
clothed in linen, whose
loins were
girded
with fine
gold of Uphaz :
and
I lift
up mine eyes, and look
, and lo,
a certain one
clothed in linen, and
his
loins girt
with pure
gold of Uphaz ,
His body also
was
like
the
beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like
in
colour
to
polished
brass, and the voice of his words like
the voice of a multitude.
and
his body as
a
beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet as
the
aspect
of
bright
brass, and the voice of his words as
the voice of a multitude.
And I Daniel alone
saw
the vision
: for
the men that
were
with me saw
not the vision;
but a great quaking
fell
upon
them, so
that
they fled
to hide
themselves.
`
And I have
seen
--
I,
Daniel ,
by
myself
--
the appearance
: and
the men who
have
been
with me have
not seen
the appearance,
but a great trembling
hath
fallen
on
them, and
they flee
to be
hidden;
Therefore
I was
left alone
, and saw
this great vision
, and there remained
no strength
in me :
for
my comeliness
was
turned in me into
corruption, and
I retained no
strength
.
and
I have
been
left by
myself
, and I
see
this great appearance
, and there hath
been
no power
left
in me ,
and
my honour
hath
been
turned in me to
corruption, yea,
I have
not
retained power
.
Yet
heard
I the voice of his words :
and when I heard
the voice of his words, then was
I in a deep
sleep
on my face, and my face toward
the ground.
`And
I hear
the voice of his words ,
and when I hear
the voice of his words, then I have
been
in a trance
on my face, and my face `is'
to
the earth;
And ,
behold
, an
hand touched
me, which
set
me upon
my knees and upon
the palms of my hands.
and lo
, a
hand hath
come
against
me, and
shaketh
me on
my knees and the palms of my hands.
And he said
unto me ,
O
Daniel, a
man greatly beloved
, understand
the words that I speak
unto thee, and stand upright:
for unto
thee
am
I
now sent. And when he had
spoken
this word unto
me
, I stood trembling.
`
And he saith
unto me :
Daniel, man greatly desired
, attend
to
the words that I am
speaking
unto thee, and stand on
thy
station,
for now I
have
been
sent unto
thee
. `
And when he speaketh
with
me
this word, I have
stood trembling.
Then
said
he unto me ,
Fear
not, Daniel :
for from the first day that thou didst set
thine
heart to understand, and to chasten
thyself before thy God, thy words were
heard, and I am
come for
thy words.
And
he saith
unto me :
Do
not fear
, Daniel ,
for from the first day that thou didst give
thy
heart to understand, and to humble
thyself before thy God, thy words have
been
heard, and I have
come because
of
thy words.
But
the prince
of the kingdom of Persia withstood
me one
and
twenty days :
but
, lo, Michael, one
of the chief princes
, came
to help me ;
and I remained there with
the kings of Persia .
`And
the head
of the kingdom of Persia is
standing
over-against
me twenty and
one
days, and
lo, Michael, first
of the chief heads
, hath
come
in
to help me ,
and I have
remained there near
the kings of Persia ;
Now
I am
come to make
thee understand what
shall
befall
thy people in the latter days :
for yet the vision is for
many
days.
and
I have
come to cause
thee to
understand that
which
doth
happen
to
thy people in the latter end
of
the
days ,
for yet the vision `
is '
after
days.
And when he had
spoken
such
words
unto
me, I set my face toward the ground
, and I
became
dumb.
`
And when he speaketh
with
me about
these
things
, I have
set my face toward the earth
, and have
been
silent;
And ,
behold
, one
like
the similitude
of the sons of men touched
my lips :
then
I opened
my mouth, and spake
, and said
unto him that
stood
before
me ,
O
my lord, by the vision
my
sorrows
are
turned upon
me, and I have retained no strength
.
and lo
, as
the manner
of the sons of men ,
he
is
striking
against
my lips ,
and
I open
my mouth, and I
speak
, and say
unto him who
is
standing
over-against
me :
My lord, by the appearance
turned have
been
my
pangs
against
me, and I have retained no power
.
For
how can
the servant of this my lord talk
with this my lord? for
as for me, straightway
there remained
no
strength
in me, neither
is
there
breath left in me.
And
how is
the servant of this my lord able
to
speak
with this my lord? as for me, henceforth
there remaineth
in me no
power
, yea,
breath hath
not
been
left in me.
Then
there
came
again
and touched
me one
like
the appearance of a man, and he
strengthened
me,
`
And he
addeth,
and
striketh
against
me ,
as
the appearance of a man, and strengtheneth
me,
And said
, O man greatly beloved
, fear
not:
peace be
unto
thee, be strong, yea, be strong .
And when he had
spoken
unto
me, I was
strengthened, and said
, Let my lord speak ;
for thou hast strengthened me.
and he
saith:
Do
not
fear
, O man greatly desired
, peace to
thee, be strong, yea, be strong ;
and when he speaketh
with
me, I have
strengthened myself
, and I
say
, Let my lord speak ,
for thou hast strengthened me.
Then
said
he, Knowest
thou wherefore
I come unto thee? and now will
I return
to fight with the prince
of Persia :
and
when
I am gone
forth, lo, the prince
of Grecia
shall
come .
And
he saith
, Hast
thou known
why
I have
come unto thee? and now I turn
back
to fight with the head
of Persia ;
yea,
I am going
forth, and
lo, the head
of Javan
hath
come ;
But I will
shew
thee that which is noted in the scripture
of truth :
and there is none
that
holdeth
with me in
these things
, but
Michael your prince
.
but I declare
to
thee that which is noted down
in the Writing
of Truth ,
and there is not
one
strengthening
himself
with me ,
concerning
these, except
Michael your head
.
