Daniel 10:12-14

New English Translation

¹² Then he said to me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel, for from the very first day you applied your mind^[a] to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come in response to your words. ¹³ However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia was opposing me for twenty-one days. But^[b] Michael, one of the leading princes, came to help me, because I was left there^[c] with the kings of Persia. ¹⁴ Now I have come to help you understand what will happen to your people in future days, for the vision pertains to days to come.”^[d]
