    3In every province, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

    5Then Esther called for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend to her, and ordered him to go to Mordecai to learn what this was and why it was.

But I have not been called to come to the king these thirty days.

    12And they told Mordecai Esther's words.

    13Then Mordecai instructed them to reply to Esther, "Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king's house more than all the Jews.
