Daniel 10:11-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹¹ He said to me, “O ^(A)Daniel, man of ^[a]high esteem, ^(B)understand the words that I am about to tell you and ^(C)stand ^[b]upright, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up ^(D)trembling. ¹² Then he said to me, “^(E)Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on ^(F)humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response ^(G)to your words. ¹³ But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was ^[c]withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, ^(H)Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.
