I have come for your words’ sake. 13But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me because I remained there with the kings of Persia. 14Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.” 15When he had spoken these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and was mute.
