8. So I was left alone to see this grand vision. I had no strength left in me. My face turned deathly pale, and I was helpless.
9. I heard the man speak, and as I listened to his words, I fainted facedown on the ground.
10. Then a hand touched me and made my hands and knees shake.
11. The man said to me, “Daniel, you are highly respected. Pay attention to my words. Stand up, because I’ve been sent to you.” When he said this to me, I stood up, trembling.
12. He told me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel. God has heard everything that you said ever since the first day you decided to humble yourself in front of your God so that you could learn to understand things. I have come in response to your prayer.
