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

¹⁰¶ Againe Esther spake vnto Hatach, and gaue him commaundement vnto Mordecai;

¹¹All the Kings seruants, and the people of the kings prouinces do know, that whosoeuer, whether man or woman, shall come vnto the King into the inner court, who is not called, there is one lawe of his to put him to death, except such to whom the King shall hold out the golden scepter, that he may liue: but I haue not beene called to come in vnto the King, these thirtie dayes.

¹²And they tolde to Mordecai Esthers words.

¹³Then Mordecai commanded to answere Esther; Thinke not with thy selfe that thou shalt escape in the kings house, more then all the Iewes.

¹⁴For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there ^†enlargement and deliuerance arise to the Iewes from another place, but thou and thy fathers house shall be destroyed: And who knoweth, whether thou art come to the kingdome for such a time as this?

¹⁵¶ Then Esther bade them returne Mordecai this answere:

¹⁶Goe, gather together all the Iewes that are ^†present in Shushan, and fast yee for me, and neither eate nor drinke three dayes, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise, and so will I goe in vnto the king, which is not according to the Law, and if I perish, I perish.

¹⁷So Mordecai ^†went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.

⁶Behold, it is written before me: I will not keepe silence, but will recompence, euen recompence into their bosome,
