Gehe hin, versammle alle Juden, die sich in Susan befinden; und fastet meinethalben, und esset nicht und trinket nicht drei Tage lang, Nacht und Tag; auch ich werde mit meinen Mägden ebenso fasten. Und alsdann will ich zu dem König hineingehen, was nicht nach dem Gesetz ist; und wenn ich umkomme, so komme ich um!

Ve, y junta á todos los Judíos que se hallan en Susán, y ayunad por mí, y no comáis ni bebáis en tres días, noche ni día: yo también con mis doncellas ayunaré igualmente, y así entraré al rey, aunque no sea conforme á la ley; y si perezco, que perezca.

16Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
