Daniel 10:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ Then one ·who looked like a man [^Laccording to the likeness of a son of man] touched my lips, so I opened my mouth and started to speak. I said to the one standing in front of me, “Master, ·I am upset and afraid [^Lpangs/anguish/pain came over me] because of what I saw in the vision. I ·feel helpless [^Lcould not retain strength]. ¹⁷ Master, how can I, your servant, talk with ·you [^Lmy master]? ·My strength is gone [^LFrom now strength does not remain in me], and ·it is hard for me to breathe [^Lbreath does not remain in me].”

¹⁸ The one ·who looked like a [like the appearance of a] man touched me again and gave me strength.
