Esther 4:9-11

9And Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

10Then Esther spake unto Hathach, and gave him a message unto Mordecai, saying:

11All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
