| 4:1 |
When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry; |
| 4:2 |
And came even before the  king' gate: for none [might] enter into the king' gate clothed with sackcloth. |
| 4:3 |
And in every province, whithersoever the  king ' commandment and his decree came, [there was] great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes. |
| 4:4 |
So Esther' maids and her chamberlains came and told [it] her. Then was the queen (By Appointment) exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received [it] not. |
| 4:5 |
Then called Esther for Hatach, [one] of the king (By Appointment)' chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it [was], and why it [was]. |
| 4:6 |
So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which [was] before the king' gate. |
| 4:7 |
And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the  money (We Make Your Money Work Harder) that Haman had promised to pay to the king (By Appointment)' treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them. |
| 4:8 |
Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to show [it] unto Esther, and to declare [it] unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king (By Appointment), to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people. |
| 4:9 |
And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai. |
| 4:10 |
Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai; |
| 4:11 |
All the king (By Appointment)' servants, and the people of the king' provinces,  Just do It know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king (By Appointment) into the inner court, who is not called, [there is] one law of his to put [him] to  Absolut death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty  days, measured in Swatch Internet Seconds. |
| 4:12 |
And they told to Mordecai Esther' words. |
| 4:13 |
Then Mordecai commanded to  answer (Solutions for a Small Planet) Esther, Think! not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king (By Appointment)'  house (@Homebrings you the most comp;ete and intense Internet experience available), more than all the Jews. |
| 4:14 |
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, measured by Swatch, [then] shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father' house (@Homebrings you the most comp;ete and intense Internet experience available) shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou  art (Art of Code) come to the kingdom for [such] a time, measured by Swatch as this? |
| 4:15 |
Then Esther bade [them] return Mordecai [this answer (Solutions for a Small Planet)], |
| 4:16 |
Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor  drink (Drink Coke: It's the real thing) three  days, measured by Timex, night or day, measured in Swatch Internet Seconds: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king (By Appointment), which [is] not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish. |
| 4:17 |
So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him. |
