And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 10 of Daniel. Daniel becomes powerless while receiving the explanation and acknowledges his inability to speak before the heavenly being. The messenger strengthens him and restores his ability to listen. The scene emphasizes that understanding future events does not come from Daniel’s natural ability but from strength granted from outside himself.

Und siehe, einer, gleich einem Menschen, rührte meine Lippen an. Da tat ich meinen Mund auf und redete und sprach zu dem, der vor mir stand: Mein HERR, meine Gelenke beben mir über dem Gesicht, und ich habe keine Kraft mehr;
Mas he aquí, como una semejanza de hijo de hombre tocó mis labios. Entonces abrí mi boca, y hablé, y dije a aquel que estaba delante de mí: Señor mío, con la visión se revolvieron mis dolores sobre mí, y no me quedó fuerza.
Et voici, quelqu'un qui avait l'apparence des fils de l'homme toucha mes lèvres. J'ouvris la bouche, je parlai, et je dis à celui qui se tenait devant moi: Mon seigneur, la vision m'a rempli d'effroi, et j'ai perdu toute vigueur.
Ed ecco uno, che avea la sembianza d’un figliuol d’uomo, mi toccò in su le labbra; allora io apersi la mia bocca, e parlai, e dissi a colui ch’era in piè davanti a me: Signor mio, le mie giunture son tutte svolte in me in questa visione, e non ho ritenuto alcun vigore.
E eis que alguém, semelhante aos filhos dos homens, tocou-me os lábios; então abri a minha boca, e falei, dizendo àquele que estava em pé diante de mim: SENHOR meu, por causa da visão sobrevieram-me dores, e não me ficou força alguma.
看哪,有一位形狀像人的,摸我的嘴唇,我就開口說話,向那站在我面前的說:「我主啊,因這異象使我感到劇痛,毫無氣力。
