5 I looked up, and there was a man dressed in linen, 10:5 Ezk 9:2; Dn 12:6–7 with a belt of gold 10:5 Rv 1:13; 15:6 from Uphaz 10:5 Some Hb mss read Ophir, 10:5 Jr 10:9 around his waist. 6 His body was like beryl, 10:6 The identity of this stone is uncertain. his face like the brilliance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, 10:6 Rv 1:14; 2:18; 19:12 his arms and feet like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude. 10:6 Rv 19:6
8 I was left alone, looking at this great vision. 10:8 Gn 32:24 No strength was left in me; my face grew deathly pale, 10:8 Lit my splendor was turned on me to ruin, 10:8 Dn 7:28; 8:27; Hab 3:16 and I was powerless. 9 I heard the words he said, and when I heard them I fell into a deep sleep, 10:9 Lit a sleep on my face, 10:9 Gn 15:12; Jb 4:13; Dn 8:18 with my face to the ground.
