| [1]When MordecaiH4782 perceivedH3045[H8804] all that was doneH6213[H8738], MordecaiH4782 rentH7167[H8799] his clothesH899, and put onH3847[H8799] sackclothH8242 with ashesH665, and went outH3318[H8799] into the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, and criedH2199[H8799] with a loudH1419 and a bitterH4751 cryH2201; |

| [2]And cameH935[H8799] even beforeH6440 the king'sH4428 gateH8179: for none might enterH935[H8800] into the king'sH4428 gateH8179 clothedH3830 with sackclothH8242. |

| [3]And in every provinceH4082, whithersoeverH4725 the king'sH4428 commandmentH1697 and his decreeH1881 cameH5060[H8688], there was greatH1419 mourningH60 among the JewsH3064, and fastingH6685, and weepingH1065, and wailingH4553; and manyH7227 layH3331[H8714] in sackclothH8242 and ashesH665. |

| [4]So Esther'sH635 maidsH5291 and her chamberlainsH5631 cameH935[H8799] and toldH5046[H8686] it her. Then was the queenH4436 exceedinglyH3966 grievedH2342[H8698]; and she sentH7971[H8799] raimentH899 to clotheH3847[H8687] MordecaiH4782, and to take awayH5493[H8687] his sackclothH8242 from him: but he receivedH6901 it notH8765. |

| [5]Then calledH7121[H8799] EstherH635 for HatachH2047, one of the king'sH4428 chamberlainsH5631, whom he had appointedH5975[H8689] to attendH6440 upon her, and gave him a commandmentH6680[H8762] to MordecaiH4782, to knowH3045 what it was, and why it wasH8800. |
[No book] |
| [6]So HatachH2047 went forthH3318[H8799] to MordecaiH4782 unto the streetH7339 of the cityH5892, which was beforeH6440 the king'sH4428 gateH8179. |

| [7]And MordecaiH4782 toldH5046[H8686] him of all that had happenedH7136[H8804] unto him, and of the sumH6575 of the moneyH3701 that HamanH2001 had promisedH559[H8804] to payH8254[H8800] to the king'sH4428 treasuriesH1595 for the JewsH3064, to destroyH6 themH8763. |

| [8]Also he gaveH5414[H8804] him the copyH6572 of the writingH3791 of the decreeH1881 that was givenH5414[H8738] at ShushanH7800 to destroyH8045[H8687] them, to shewH7200[H8687] it unto EstherH635, and to declareH5046[H8687] it unto her, and to chargeH6680[H8763] her that she should go inH935[H8800] unto the kingH4428, to make supplicationH2603[H8692] unto him, and to make requestH1245[H8763] beforeH6440 him for her peopleH5971. |
[No book] |
| [9]And HatachH2047 cameH935[H8799] and toldH5046[H8686] EstherH635 the wordsH1697 of MordecaiH4782. |
[No book] |
| [10]Again EstherH635 spakeH559[H8799] unto HatachH2047, and gave him commandmentH6680[H8762] unto MordecaiH4782; |
[No book] |
| [11]All the king'sH4428 servantsH5650, and the peopleH5971 of the king'sH4428 provincesH4082, do knowH3045[H8802], that whosoever, whether manH376 or womanH802, shall comeH935[H8799] unto the kingH4428 into the innerH6442 courtH2691, who is not calledH7121[H8735], there is oneH259 lawH1881 of his to put him to deathH4191[H8687], exceptH905 such to whom the kingH4428 shall hold outH3447[H8686] the goldenH2091 sceptreH8275, that he may liveH2421[H8804]: but I have not been calledH7121[H8738] to come inH935[H8800] unto the kingH4428 these thirtyH7970 daysH3117. |
[No book] |
| [12]And they toldH5046[H8686] to MordecaiH4782 Esther'sH635 wordsH1697. |
[No book] |
| [13]Then MordecaiH4782 commandedH559[H8799] to answerH7725[H8687] EstherH635, ThinkH1819[H8762] not with thyselfH5315 that thou shalt escapeH4422[H8736] in the king'sH4428 houseH1004, more than all the JewsH3064. |
[No book] |
| [14]For if thou altogetherH2790[H8687] holdest thy peaceH2790[H8686] at this timeH6256, then shall there enlargementH7305 and deliveranceH2020 ariseH5975[H8799] to the JewsH3064 from anotherH312 placeH4725; but thou and thy father'sH1 houseH1004 shall be destroyedH6[H8799]: and who knowethH3045[H8802] whether thou art comeH5060[H8689] to the kingdomH4438 for such a time as thisH6256? |
[No book] |
| [15]Then EstherH635 badeH559[H8799] them returnH7725[H8687] Mordecai this answerH4782, |
[No book] |
| [16]GoH3212[H8798], gather togetherH3664[H8798] all the JewsH3064 that are presentH4672[H8737] in ShushanH7800, and fastH6684[H8798] ye for me, and neither eatH398[H8799] nor drinkH8354[H8799] threeH7969 daysH3117, nightH3915 or dayH3117: I also and my maidensH5291 will fastH6684[H8799] likewise; and soH3651 will I goH935[H8799] in unto the kingH4428, which is not according to the lawH1881: and if I perishH6[H8804], I perishH6.[H8804] |
[No book] |
| [17]So MordecaiH4782 went his wayH5674[H8799], and didH6213[H8799] according to all that EstherH635 had commandedH6680 himH8765. |
