Daniel 7:13-15
Common English Bible
13 As I continued to watch this night vision of mine, I suddenly saw
one like a human being[a]
coming with the heavenly clouds.
He came to the ancient one
and was presented before him.
14 Rule, glory, and kingship were given to him;
all peoples, nations, and languages will serve him.
His rule is an everlasting one—
it will never pass away!—
his kingship is indestructible.

15 Now this caused me, Daniel, to worry.[b] My visions disturbed me greatly.

- Daniel 7:13 The Aramaic phrase bar enash means human being. The phrase son of man is retained here because of its use in the New Testament as a title of Jesus, probably based largely on this verse.
