10:1 1 In the third 2 year of King Cyrus of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel (who was also called Belteshazzar). This message was true and concerned a great war. 3 He understood the message and gained insight by the vision.
10:2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three whole weeks. 4 10:3 I ate no choice food; no meat or wine came to my lips, 5 nor did I anoint myself with oil 6 until the end of those three weeks.
10:4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month 7 I was beside the great river, the Tigris. 8 10:5 I looked up 9 and saw a 10 man 11 clothed in linen; 12 around his waist was a belt made of gold from Upaz. 13
