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. 16Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows have overtaken me, and I retain no strength. 17For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me. There was no breath left in me.” 18Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he strengthened me.
