‏ Daniel 10:16

16. touched my lips--the same significant action wherewith the Son of man accompanied His healing of the dumb (Mr 7:33). He alone can give spiritual utterance (Is 6:6, 7; Ep 6:19), enabling one to "open the mouth boldly." The same one who makes dumb (Da 10:15) opens the mouth.

sorrows--literally, "writhings" as of a woman in travail.
