Daniel 10:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
10 1 There appeareth unto Daniel a man clothed in linen, 11 which showeth him wherefore he is sent.
1 In the [a]third year of Cyrus King of Persia, a thing was revealed unto Daniel (whose name was called Belteshazzar) and the word was true, but the time appointed was [b]long, and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
2 At the same time I Daniel was in heaviness for three weeks of days.
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three weeks of days were fulfilled.

- Daniel 10:1 He noteth this third year, because at this time the building of the Temple began to be hindered by Cambyses Cyrus’ son, when the father made war in Asia minor against the Scythians, which was a discouraging to the godly, and a great fear to Daniel.
- Daniel 10:1 Which is to declare that the godly should not hasten too much, but patiently to abide the issue of God’s promise.
