Esther 4:12-14
New Catholic Bible
12 When Esther’s words reached Mordecai, 13 he sent back this reply: “Do not imagine that because you are in the king’s palace you alone of all the Jews will escape. 14 Even if you remain silent now, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place;[a] but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows? Perhaps it was for just such a time as this that you obtained the royal dignity.”
