Daniel 10:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ “Do not be afraid, greatly beloved. You have been specially chosen. Peace be with you. Have courage and be strong.” ²⁰ As he spoke to me, I once again felt strong, and I said, “Speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me.”

Then he asked, “Do you know why I have come to you? I must first return to fight against the king of Persia, and when I have overcome him, the prince of Greece will appear. ²¹ But I have been delegated to tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth. There is no one to lend me support except Michael, your prince.
