Daniel 10:16-17

16 Then ^{▼▼ Heb “Behold.”} one who appeared to be a human being ^{▼▼ So most Hebrew MSS; one Hebrew MS along with the Dead Sea Scrolls and LXX read “something that looked like a man’s hand.”} was touching my lips. I opened my mouth and started to speak, saying to the one who was standing before me, “Sir, ^{▼▼ Heb “my lord,” here a title of polite address. Cf. v. 19.} due to the vision, anxiety has gripped me and I have no strength. 17 How, sir, am I able to speak with you? ^{▼▼ Heb “How is the servant of this my lord able to speak with this my lord?”} My strength is gone, ^{▼▼ Heb “does not stand.”} and I am breathless.”
