⁷ I, Daniel, was the only one who saw the special dream. The men who were with me did not see it. But they were filled with much fear, and ran away to hide themselves. ⁸ So I was left alone and saw this special dream. I had no strength left. My skin color turned white as if I were dead, and there was no strength left in me. ⁹ Then I heard the sound of his words. And as soon as I heard him speak, I fell into a deep sleep with my face to the ground.
