Esther 4:13-16

13Then MordecaiH4782 toldH559 them to replyH7725 to EstherH635, “Do not imagineH1819 that you in the king’sH4428 palaceH1004 can escapeH4422 any moreH4480 thanH4480 allH3605 the JewsH3064.

14For ifH518 you remainH2790 silentH2790 at thisH2088 timeH6256, reliefH7305 and 1deliveranceH2020 will ariseH5975 for the JewsH3064 from anotherH312 placeH4725 and you and your father’sH1 houseH1004 will perishH6. And whoH4310 knowsH3045 whetherH518 you have not attainedH5060 royaltyH4438 for such a timeH6256 as thisH2088?”

15Then EstherH635 toldH559 them to replyH7725 to MordecaiH4782,

16“GoH1980, assembleH3664 allH3605 the JewsH3064 who are foundH4672 in SusaH7800, and fastH6684 for me; 2do not eatH398 or drinkH8354 for 3threeH7969 daysH3117, nightH3915 or dayH3117. I and my maidensH5291 alsoH1571 will fastH6684 in the sameH3651 wayH3651. And thusH3651 I will goH935 in to the kingH4428, whichH834 is not according to the lawH1881; and ifH834 I perishH6, I perishH6.”
