Go, 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, (d) I perish.
(d) I will put my life in danger and refer the success to God, seeing it is for his glory and the deliverance of his Church.
