Esther 4:16KJV
Protestant Bible · KJV · Verse 16 of 17
"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 not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish."
In context
14For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, 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 a time as this?
15Then Esther bade return Mordecai ,
16Go, 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 not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
17So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
