Additions to Esther 4:14

14 If you keep quiet at a time like this, help will come to the Jews in some other way 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!"

Additions to Esther 4:14 In-Context

12 When Mordecai received Esther's message,

13 he sent her this warning: "Esther, don't imagine that you are safer than any of the other Jews in the empire.

14 If you keep quiet at a time like this, help will come to the Jews in some other way 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!"

15 Esther sent Mordecai this reply:

16 "Go and gather 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."
