Daniel 10:8
10:8 I alone was left to see this great vision. My strength drained from 1 me, and my vigor disappeared; 2 I was without energy. 3
Daniel 10:16-17
10:16 Then 4 one who appeared to be a human being 5 was touching my lips. I opened my mouth and started to speak, saying to the one who was standing before me, “Sir, 6 due to the vision, anxiety has gripped me and I have no strength.
10:17 How, sir, am I able to speak with you? 7 My strength is gone, 8 and I am breathless.”
1 tn Heb “did not remain in.”
2 tn Heb “was changed upon me for ruin.”
3 tn Heb “strength.”
4 tn Heb “Behold.”

6 tn Heb “my lord,” here a title of polite address. Cf. v. 19.
7 tn Heb “How is the servant of this my lord able to speak with this my lord?”
8 tn Heb “does not stand.”
