Esther 4:13-16

13Then MordecaiH4782 bade them returnH7725 answer unto EstherH635, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escapeH4422 in the king’sH4428 houseH1004, more than all the JewsH3064. 14For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this timeH6256, then will relief and deliverance ariseH5975 to the JewsH3064 from another placeH4725, but thou and thy father’sH1 houseH1004 will perishH6: and who knoweth whether thou art not come to the kingdomH4438 for such a timeH6256 as this? 15Then EstherH635 bade them returnH7725 answer unto MordecaiH4782, 16GoH935, gatherH3664 together all the JewsH3064 that are present in Shushan, and fastH6684 ye for me, and neither eatH398 nor drinkH8354 threeH7969 daysH3117, nightH3915 or dayH3117: I alsoH1571 and my maidens will fastH6684 in like manner; and soH3651 will I goH935 in unto the kingH4428, which is not according to the lawH1881: and if I perishH6, I perishH6.
