Bible Comments

And in every province, whithersoever the king's 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. Fasting, and weeping, and wailing - How astonishing, that in all this there is not the slightest intimation given of praying to God!
