King James Version
And
Mordecai hath
known
all that hath
been
done, and
Mordecai rendeth
his garments
, and putteth
on sackcloth and
ashes, and goeth
forth
into the midst of the city and crieth
--
a cry
loud and bitter ,
When
Mordecai perceived
all that was
done, Mordecai rent
his clothes
, and put
on sackcloth with
ashes, and went
out
into the midst of the city ,
and cried
with
a loud and a
bitter cry;
and he
cometh
in
unto
the
front
of
the gate of
the
king,
but
none is
to
come
in
unto
the gate of
the
king
with a
sackcloth -garment
.
And came
even
before
the king's
gate :
for
none might
enter
into
the king's
gate clothed
with sackcloth.
And in every province and
province
, the
place
where
the
word
of
the king,
even
his law,
is
coming
, a
great mourning have
the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and lamenting:
sackcloth and ashes are
spread
for
many
.
And in every province, whithersoever
the king's
commandment
and
his decree
came
, there
was
great mourning among
the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing;
and
many
lay
in
sackcloth and ashes.
And
young
women
of
Esther
come
in
and her eunuchs,
and declare
`
it '
to
her ,
and
the queen is
exceedingly pained,
and sendeth
garments
to clothe Mordecai, and to turn
aside
his sackcloth from off
him ,
and
he hath
not
received `them'
.
So
Esther's
maids
and her chamberlains
came
and told
it her .
Then
was
the queen exceedingly grieved;
and she
sent
raiment
to clothe Mordecai, and to take
away
his sackcloth from him :
but
he received it
not
.
And
Esther calleth
to
Hatach, of
the
eunuchs
of the king
, whom he hath
stationed
before
her, and giveth
him a charge
for
Mordecai, to know what this
`is'
, and wherefore
this
`is'
.
Then
called
Esther for
Hatach, one
of the king's
chamberlains
, whom he had
appointed
to
attend
upon
her, and gave
him a commandment
to
Mordecai, to know what it
was
, and why
it
was
.
And
Hatach goeth
out
unto
Mordecai ,
unto a
broad
place
of the city, that
`is'
before the gate of
the
king,
So
Hatach went
forth
to
Mordecai unto the
street
of the city, which
was
before the king's
gate .
and Mordecai declareth
to
him all that hath
met
him, and the explanation
of the money that Haman said
to weigh
to the treasuries of
the
king
for the Jews, to destroy them ,
And Mordecai told
him of
all that had
happened
unto
him, and of
the sum
of the money that Haman had
promised
to pay
to the king's
treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them .
and
the copy of the writing of the law
that had
been
given in
Shushan to destroy them he
hath
given
to
him
, to shew Esther, and to declare `
it '
to
her, and to lay
a
charge on
her to
go in unto the king, to make supplication to
him, and to seek
from
before him ,
for her people.
Also
he
gave
him
the copy of the writing of the decree
that was
given at
Shushan to destroy them, to shew it
unto
Esther, and to declare it unto
her, and to charge her that
she
should
go in unto the king, to make supplication unto
him, and to make
request
before him for her people.
And Hatach cometh
in
and declareth
to
Esther the words of Mordecai ,
And Hatach came
and told
Esther the words of Mordecai .
and
Esther speaketh
to
Hatach, and chargeth
him for
Mordecai :
Again
Esther spake
unto
Hatach, and gave
him commandment
unto
Mordecai ;
`
All servants
of
the king
, and people of the provinces of
the
king
, do know that any
man and
woman
, who
cometh
in
unto the king ,
unto
the inner court, who is not called --
one law `
of '
his `is'
to put `them'
to death, apart
from
him
to whom the king holdeth
out the golden sceptre, then
he hath
lived;
and
I
--
I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days. '
All the king's
servants
, and the
people of the king's
provinces, do know ,
that whosoever,
whether
man or
women
, shall
come
unto the king into
the inner court, who is not called ,
there
is
one law of his to put him
to death, except
such
to whom the king shall
hold
out the golden sceptre, that
he may
live:
but
I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
And they declare
to Mordecai the
words of
Esther,
And they told
to Mordecai Esther's
words .
and
Mordecai speaketh
to send
back
unto
Esther :
`Do
not
think in
thy
soul
to
be
delivered
`
in '
the house of
the
king
, more than all the Jews ,
Then
Mordecai commanded
to answer
Esther ,
Think not
with
thyself
that
thou
shalt
escape
in the king's
house, more than all the Jews .
but
if thou keep
entirely
silent
at this time, respite
and deliverance remaineth
to the Jews from another place ,
and
thou and the
house
of
thy fathers
are
destroyed ;
and who knoweth whether for
a
time
like
this
thou hast
come to the kingdom? '
For
if thou altogether
holdest
thy
peace
at this time, then
shall
there
enlargement
and deliverance arise
to the Jews from another place ;
but
thou and thy father's
house
shall
be
destroyed :
and who knoweth whether thou art
come to the kingdom for
such
a
time
as
this
?
And
Esther speaketh
to
send
back
unto
Mordecai :
Then
Esther bade
them
return
Mordecai this
answer,
`
Go, gather all the Jews who
are found
in Shushan, and fast for me, and do
not
eat nor drink three days, by
night and
by
day ;
also
I and my young
women
do
fast likewise ,
and so I go in unto the king, that
`
is '
not according to law ,
and when
I have
perished
--
I have
perished
. '
Go, gather together
all the Jews that
are present
in Shushan, and fast ye
for me, and neither
eat nor drink three days, night or
day :
I also
and my maidens
will
fast likewise ;
and so will
I go in unto the king, which
is not according to the
law :
and if
I perish,
I perish
.
And
Mordecai passeth
on
, and doth
according to all that Esther hath
charged
upon
him.
So
Mordecai went
his
way
, and did
according to all that Esther had
commanded
him.
