Esther 4:12-16

GNT

NIV

12 When Mordecai received Esther's message,
12 When Esther’s words were reported to Mordecai,
13 he sent her this warning: "Don't imagine that you are safer than any other Jew just because you are in the royal palace.
13 he sent back this answer: “Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape.
14 If you keep quiet at a time like this, help will come from heaven to the Jews, and they will be saved, but you will die and your father's family will come to an end. Yet who knows - maybe it was for a time like this that you were made queen!"
14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
15 Esther sent Mordecai this reply:
15 Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai:
16 "Go and get all the Jews in Susa together; hold a fast and pray for me. Don't eat or drink anything for three days and nights. My servant women and I will be doing the same. After that, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. If I must die for doing it, I will die."
16 “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.”
