Additions to Esther 4:23

23 For I could have been content with good will for the salvation of Israel, to kiss the soles of his feet.

Additions to Esther 4:23 In-Context

21 Thou art Lord of all things, and there is no man that can resist Thee, who art the Lord.
22 Thou knowest all things; and Thou knowest, Lord, that it was neither in contempt nor pride, nor for any desire of glory that I did not bow down to proud Haman.
23 For I could have been content with good will for the salvation of Israel, to kiss the soles of his feet.
24 But I did this, that I might not prefer the glory of man above the glory of God; neither will I worship any but Thee, O God, neither will I do it in pride.
25 And now, O Lord God and King, spare Thy people, for their eyes are upon us to bring us to nought; yea, they desire to destroy the inheritance that hath been Thine from the beginning.
