    4When Esther’s attendants and eunuchs came and told her, the queen was deeply distressed. She sent clothes for Mordecai to wear so he could remove his sackcloth, but he refused them.

    5Then Esther summoned Hathach, one of the king’s eunuchs appointed to attend her, and ordered him to find out what was troubling Mordecai and why.

    6Hathach went out to Mordecai in the square of the city in front of the king's gate.

    7Mordecai told him everything that had happened to him, including the exact amount of money Haman had promised to pay into the king's treasury for the destruction of the Jews.

    8He also gave him a copy of the text of the decree issued in Susa for their destruction, so that Hathach could show it to Esther and explain it to her, urging her to go to the king, plead for mercy, and intercede for her people.

    9Hathach returned and reported Mordecai’s message to Esther.

    10Then Esther instructed Hathach to respond to Mordecai.

    11‘All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that for anyone—man or woman—who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned, there is one law: they are to be put to death unless the king extends the gold scepter, allowing them to live. But I have not been summoned to come to the king for thirty days.’

    12When Mordecai was informed of what Esther said,

    13he sent back this reply to her: ‘Do not think that because you are in the king's house you alone will escape the fate of all the Jews.’

    14If you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows? Perhaps you have come to your royal position for such a time as this.

    17So Mordecai went away and did everything Esther had instructed him to do.
