Daniel 8:26-27

"This vision about the 2,300 evenings and mornings is true. But none of these things will happen for a long time, so keep this vision a secret." Then I, Daniel, was overcome and lay sick for several days. Afterward I got up and performed my duties for the king, but I was greatly troubled by the vision and could not understand it.

My strength is gone, and I can hardly breathe." [see verses 15-11:1]
