Daniel 10:16-17 New English Translation
16 Then[a] one who appeared to be a human being[b] was touching my lips. I opened my mouth and started to speak, saying to the one who was standing before me, “Sir,[c] due to the vision, anxiety has gripped me and I have no strength. 17 How, sir, am I able to speak with you?[d] My strength is gone,[e] and I am breathless.”
