Esther 4:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² When Mordecai received Esther's message, ¹³ he sent her this warning: “Don't imagine that you are safer than any other Jew just because you are in the royal palace. ¹⁴ If you keep quiet at a time like this, help will come from heaven to the Jews, and they will be saved, but you will die and your father's family will come to an end. Yet who knows—maybe it was for a time like this that you were made queen!”
