4:1 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,
4:2 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.
4:3 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.
4:4 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]
.
4:5 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]
.
4:6 And
Hatach
goeth
out
unto
Mordecai,
unto
a
broad
place
of
the
city,
that
[is]
before
the
gate
of
the
king,
4:7 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,
4:8 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.
4:9 And
Hatach
cometh
in
and
declareth
to
Esther
the
words
of
Mordecai,
4:10 and
Esther
speaketh
to
Hatach,
and
chargeth
him
for
Mordecai:
4:11 `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.'
4:12 And
they
declare
to
Mordecai
the
words
of
Esther,
4:13 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,
4:14 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'
4:15 And
Esther
speaketh
to
send
back
unto
Mordecai:
4:16 `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.'
4:17 And
Mordecai
passeth
on,
and
doth
according
to
all
that
Esther
hath
charged
upon
him.
