Esther 4:13-16

13And MordecaiH4782 bade to answer EstherH635: Imagine not in thy heart that thou shalt escapeH4422 in the king's houseH1004, more than all the JewsH3064.

14For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this timeH6256, then shall there ariseH5975 relief and deliverance to the JewsH3064 from another placeH4725; but thou and thy father's houseH1004 shall perishH6. And who knowsH3045 whether thou art [not] come to the kingdomH4438 for such a timeH6256 as this?

15And EstherH635 bade to answer MordecaiH4782:

16GoH935, gatherH3664 together all the JewsH3064 that are foundH4672 in Shushan, and fastH6684 for me, and neither eatH398 nor drinkH8354 threeH7969 daysH3117, nightH3915 or dayH3117: I alsoH1571 and my maidens will fastH6684 likewise, and soH3651 will I goH935 in unto the kingH4428, which is not according to the lawH1881; and if I perishH6, I perishH6.
