Esther 4:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² When Mordecai heard this message from Esther, ¹³ he sent this answer back to her: ‘Do not think that you will be safe because you live in the king's palace. You will not escape when they kill all the other Jews. ¹⁴ You must speak now on behalf of all the Jewish people. If you do not, they will receive help from another place to make them safe and free. Then you and your father's family will come to an end. But I think that perhaps you have become queen so that you can help at a time like this.’^[a]
