Daniel 10:7-8

10:7 Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men who were with me did not see it. 1  On the contrary, they were overcome with fright 2  and ran away to hide. 10:8 I alone was left to see this great vision. My strength drained from 3  me, and my vigor disappeared; 4  I was without energy. 5 

Daniel 10:16

10:16 Then 6  one who appeared to be a human being 7  was touching my lips. I opened my mouth and started to speak, saying to the one who was standing before me, “Sir, 8  due to the vision, anxiety has gripped me and I have no strength.

2 tn Heb “great trembling fell on them.”

3 tn Heb “did not remain in.”

4 tn Heb “was changed upon me for ruin.”

5 tn Heb “strength.”

6 tn Heb “Behold.”
