2 At that time I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks. |
3 I ate no choice food; no meat or wine touched my lips; and I used no lotions at all until the three weeks were over. |
4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris, |
5 I looked up and there before me was a man dressed in linen, with a belt of the finest gold around his waist. |
