When MordecaiH4782 perceivedH3045 all that was doneH6213, MordecaiH4782 rentH7167 his clothesH899, and put onH3847 sackclothH8242 with ashesH665, and went outH3318 into the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, and criedH2199 with a loudH1419 and a bitterH4751 cryH2201;
And cameH935 even beforeH6440 the king'sH4428 gateH8179: for none might enterH935 into the king'sH4428 gateH8179 clothedH3830 with sackclothH8242.
And in every provinceH4082, whithersoeverH4725 the king'sH4428 commandmentH1697 and his decreeH1881 cameH5060, there was greatH1419 mourningH60 among the JewsH3064, and fastingH6685, and weepingH1065, and wailingH4553; and manyH7227 layH3331 in sackclothH8242 and ashesH665. {many…: Heb. sackcloth and ashes were laid under many}
So Esther'sH635 maidsH5291 and her chamberlainsH5631 cameH935 and toldH5046 it her. Then was the queenH4436 exceedinglyH3966 grievedH2342; and she sentH7971 raimentH899 to clotheH3847 MordecaiH4782, and to take awayH5493 his sackclothH8242 from him: but he receivedH6901 it not. {chamberlains: Heb. eunuchs}
Then calledH7121 EstherH635 for HatachH2047, one of the king'sH4428 chamberlainsH5631, whom he had appointedH5975 to attendH6440 upon her, and gave him a commandmentH6680 to MordecaiH4782, to knowH3045 what it was, and why it was. {appointed…: Heb. set before her}
So HatachH2047 went forthH3318 to MordecaiH4782 unto the streetH7339 of the cityH5892, which was beforeH6440 the king'sH4428 gateH8179.
And MordecaiH4782 toldH5046 him of all that had happenedH7136 unto him, and of the sumH6575 of the moneyH3701 that HamanH2001 had promisedH559 to payH8254 to the king'sH4428 treasuriesH1595 for the JewsH3064, to destroyH6 them.
Also he gaveH5414 him the copyH6572 of the writingH3791 of the decreeH1881 that was givenH5414 at ShushanH7800 to destroyH8045 them, to shewH7200 it unto EstherH635, and to declareH5046 it unto her, and to chargeH6680 her that she should go inH935 unto the kingH4428, to make supplicationH2603 unto him, and to make requestH1245 beforeH6440 him for her peopleH5971.
And HatachH2047 cameH935 and toldH5046 EstherH635 the wordsH1697 of MordecaiH4782.
Again EstherH635 spakeH559 unto HatachH2047, and gave him commandmentH6680 unto MordecaiH4782;
All the king'sH4428 servantsH5650, and the peopleH5971 of the king'sH4428 provincesH4082, do knowH3045, that whosoever, whether manH376 or womanH802, shall comeH935 unto the kingH4428 into the innerH6442 courtH2691, who is not calledH7121, there is oneH259 lawH1881 of his to put him to deathH4191, exceptH905 such to whom the kingH4428 shall hold outH3447 the goldenH2091 sceptreH8275, that he may liveH2421: but I have not been calledH7121 to come inH935 unto the kingH4428 these thirtyH7970 daysH3117.
And they toldH5046 to MordecaiH4782 Esther'sH635 wordsH1697.
Then MordecaiH4782 commandedH559 to answerH7725 EstherH635, ThinkH1819 not with thyselfH5315 that thou shalt escapeH4422 in the king'sH4428 houseH1004, more than all the JewsH3064.
For if thou altogetherH2790 holdest thy peaceH2790 at this timeH6256, then shall there enlargementH7305 and deliveranceH2020 ariseH5975 to the JewsH3064 from anotherH312 placeH4725; but thou and thy father'sH1 houseH1004 shall be destroyedH6: and who knowethH3045 whether thou art comeH5060 to the kingdomH4438 for such a timeH6256 as this? {enlargement: Heb. respiration}
Then EstherH635 badeH559 them returnH7725 MordecaiH4782 this answer,
GoH3212, gather togetherH3664 all the JewsH3064 that are presentH4672 in ShushanH7800, and fastH6684 ye for me, and neither eatH398 nor drinkH8354 threeH7969 daysH3117, nightH3915 or dayH3117: I also and my maidensH5291 will fastH6684 likewise; and soH3651 will I goH935 in unto the kingH4428, which is not according to the lawH1881: and if I perishH6, I perishH6. {present: Heb. found}
So MordecaiH4782 went his wayH5674, and didH6213 according to all that EstherH635 had commandedH6680 him. {went…: Heb. passed}

And EstherH635 obtainedH5375 favourH2580 in the sightH5869 of all them that lookedH7200 upon her.

And it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that they saidH559 unto Samson'sH8123 wifeH802, EnticeH6601 thy husbandH376, that he may declareH5046 unto us the riddleH2420, lest we burnH8313 thee and thy father'sH1 houseH1004 with fireH784: have ye calledH7121 us to take that we haveH3423? is it not so? {take…: Heb. possess us, or, impoverish us?}
And Samson'sH8123 wifeH802 weptH1058 before him, and saidH559, Thou dost but hateH8130 me, and lovestH157 me not: thou hast put forthH2330 a riddleH2420 unto the childrenH1121 of my peopleH5971, and hast not toldH5046 it me. And he saidH559 unto her, Behold, I have not toldH5046 it my fatherH1 nor my motherH517, and shall I tellH5046 it thee?
And she weptH1058 before him the sevenH7651 daysH3117, while their feastH4960 lastedH1961: and it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that he toldH5046 her, because she lay soreH6693 upon him: and she toldH5046 the riddleH2420 to the childrenH1121 of her peopleH5971. {the seven…: or, the rest of the seven days}
And the menH582 of the cityH5892 saidH559 unto him on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 before the sunH2775 went downH935, What is sweeterH4966 than honeyH1706? and what is strongerH5794 than a lionH738?

And kingsH4428 shall be thy nursing fathersH539, and their queensH8282 thy nursing mothersH3243: they shall bow downH7812 to thee with their faceH639 toward the earthH776, and lick upH3897 the dustH6083 of thy feetH7272; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068: for they shall not be ashamedH954 that waitH6960 for me. {nursing fathers: Heb. nourishers} {queens: Heb. princesses}

Were it notH3884 that I fearedH1481 the wrathH3708 of the enemyH341, lest their adversariesH6862 should behave themselves strangelyH5234, and lest they should sayH559, Our handH3027 is highH7311, and the LORDH3068 hath not doneH6466 all this. {Our…: or, Our high hand, and not the LORD hath done}
Then the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559, Who hath doneH6213 this?

And the PhilistinesH6430 came upH5927, and burntH8313 her and her fatherH1 with fireH784.
InG1722 whichG3739 timeG2540 MosesG3475 was bornG1080, andG2532 wasG2258 exceedingG2316 fairG791, andG3739 nourished upG397 inG1722 hisG846 father'sG3962 houseG3624 threeG5140 monthsG3376: {exceeding fair: or, fair to God}
AndG1161 when heG846 was cast outG1620, Pharaoh'sG5328 daughterG2364 tookG337 himG846 upG337, andG2532 nourishedG397 himG846 forG1519 her ownG1438 sonG5207.
AndG2532 MosesG3475 was learnedG3811 in allG3956 the wisdomG4678 of the EgyptiansG124, andG1161 wasG2258 mightyG1415 inG1722 wordsG3056 andG2532 inG1722 deedsG2041.
AndG1161 whenG5613 heG846 was fullG4137 forty yearsG5063 oldG5550, it cameG305 intoG1909 hisG846 heartG2588 to visitG1980 hisG846 brethrenG80 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474.
AndG2532 seeingG1492 oneG5100 of them suffer wrongG91, he defendedG292 him, andG2532 avengedG1557+G4160 him that was oppressedG2669, and smoteG3960 the EgyptianG124:
ForG1161 he supposedG3543 hisG846 brethrenG80 would have understoodG4920 howG3754 that GodG2316 byG1223 hisG846 handG5495 would deliverG1325+G4991 themG846: butG1161 they understoodG4920 notG3756. {For: or, Now}
For the LORDH3068 shall judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, and repentH5162 himself for his servantsH5650, when he seethH7200 that their powerH3027 is goneH235, and there is noneH657 shut upH6113, or leftH5800. {power: Heb. hand}
For the LORDH3068 will not forsakeH5203 his peopleH5971 for his greatH1419 name'sH8034 sake: because it hath pleasedH2974 the LORDH3068 to makeH6213 you his peopleH5971.
No weaponH3627 that is formedH3335 against thee shall prosperH6743; and every tongueH3956 that shall riseH6965 against thee in judgmentH4941 thou shalt condemnH7561. This is the heritageH5159 of the servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068, and their righteousnessH6666 is of me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For I am with thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, to saveH3467 thee: though I makeH6213 a full endH3617 of all nationsH1471 whither I have scatteredH6327 thee, yet will I not makeH6213 a full endH3617 of thee: but I will correctH3256 thee in measureH4941, and will not leave thee altogetherH5352 unpunishedH5352.
ConsiderestH7200 thou not what this peopleH5971 have spokenH1696, sayingH559, The twoH8147 familiesH4940 which the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977, he hath even cast them offH3988? thus they have despisedH5006 my peopleH5971, that they should be no more a nationH1471 beforeH6440 them.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; If my covenantH1285 be not with dayH3119 and nightH3915, and if I have not appointedH7760 the ordinancesH2708 of heavenH8064 and earthH776;
ThenH1571 will I cast awayH3988 the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, and DavidH1732 my servantH5650, so that I will not takeH3947 any of his seedH2233 to be rulersH4910 over the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3446, and JacobH3290: for I will cause their captivityH7622 to returnH7725+H7725, and have mercyH7355 on them.
FearH3372 thou not, O JacobH3290 my servantH5650, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I am with thee; for I will makeH6213 a full endH3617 of all the nationsH1471 whither I have drivenH5080 thee: but I will not makeH6213 a full endH3617 of thee, but correctH3256 thee in measureH4941; yet will I not leave thee whollyH5352 unpunishedH5352. {not leave…: or, not utterly cut thee off}
Behold, the eyesH5869 of the LordH136 GODH3069 are upon the sinfulH2403 kingdomH4467, and I will destroyH8045 it from off the faceH6440 of the earthH127; savingH657 that I will not utterlyH8045 destroyH8045 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For, lo, I will commandH6680, and I will siftH5128 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 among all nationsH1471, like as corn is siftedH5128 in a sieveH3531, yet shall not the least grainH6872 fallH5307 upon the earthH776. {sift: Heb. cause to move} {grain: Heb. stone}
