5 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in ^alinen, whose waist was ^bgirded with gold of Uphaz!  ‡

6 His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like torches of fire, his arms and feet like burnished bronze in color, ^aand the sound of his words like the voice of a multitude.  ‡

8 Therefore I was left alone when I saw this great vision, and no strength remained in me; for my¹ vigor was turned to frailty in me, and I retained no strength.  ‡

9 Yet I heard the sound of his words; and while I heard the sound of his words I was in a deep sleep on my face, with my face to the ground.
