Esther 4:7-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
7
Mordecai told him everything that had happened to him, and the exact amount of money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries for the elimination of the Jews.
8
He also gave him a copy of the text of the edict which had been issued in Susa for their annihilation, so that he might show Esther and inform her, and to order her to go in to the king to implore his favor and plead with him for her people.
9
So Hathach came back and reported Mordecai’s words to Esther.
10
Then Esther spoke to Hathach and ordered him
to reply
to Mordecai:
11
All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that for any man or woman who comes to the king in the inner courtyard, who is not summoned, he has
only
one law, that he be put to death, unless the king holds out to him the golden scepter so that he may live. And I have not been summoned to come to the king for these thirty days.'
12
And they reported Esther’s words to Mordecai.
13
Then Mordecai told
them
to reply to Esther, 'Do not imagine that you in the king’s palace can escape any more than all the
other
Jews.
King James Version
Chapter 4
7
And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.
8
Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.
9
And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
10
Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai;
11
All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
12
And they told to Mordecai Esther's words.
13
Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
7
Mordecai told him everything that had happened as well as the exact amount of money Haman had promised to pay the royal treasury for the slaughter of the Jews.
8
Mordecai also gave him a copy of the written decree issued in Susa ordering their destruction, so that Hathach might show it to Esther, explain it to her, and command her to approach the king, implore his favor, and plead with him personally for her people.
9
Hathach came and repeated Mordecai’s response to Esther.
10
Esther spoke to Hathach and commanded him to tell Mordecai,
11
"All the royal officials and the people of the royal provinces know that one law applies to every man or woman who approaches the king in the inner courtyard and who has not been summoned—the death penalty— unless the king extends the gold scepter, allowing that person to live. I have not been summoned to appear before the king for the last thirty days."
12
Esther’s response was reported to Mordecai.
13
Mordecai told the messenger to reply to Esther, "Don’t think that you will escape the fate of all the Jews because you are in the king’s palace.
New Living Translation
Chapter 4
7
Mordecai told him the whole story, including the exact amount of money Haman had promised to pay into the royal treasury for the destruction of the Jews.
8
Mordecai gave Hathach a copy of the decree issued in Susa that called for the death of all Jews. He asked Hathach to show it to Esther and explain the situation to her. He also asked Hathach to direct her to go to the king to beg for mercy and plead for her people.
9
So Hathach returned to Esther with Mordecai’s message.
10
Then Esther told Hathach to go back and relay this message to Mordecai:
11
All the king’s officials and even the people in the provinces know that anyone who appears before the king in his inner court without being invited is doomed to die unless the king holds out his gold scepter. And the king has not called for me to come to him for thirty days.'
12
So Hathach gave Esther’s message to Mordecai.
13
Mordecai sent this reply to Esther: 'Don’t think for a moment that because you’re in the palace you will escape when all other Jews are killed.

"All the king 's servants and the people of the king 's provinces know that if any man or woman goes to the king inside the inner court without being called, there is but one law — to be put to death, except the one to whom the king holds out the golden scepter so that he may live. But as for me, I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days."
12
And they told Mordecai what Esther had said.
13
Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, "Do not think to yourself that in the king 's palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews.

Hathak went back and reported to Esther what Mordecai had said.
10
Then she instructed him to say to Mordecai,
11
"All the king’s officials and the people of the royal provinces know that for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned the king has but one law: that they be put to death unless the king extends the gold scepter to them and spares their lives. But thirty days have passed since I was called to go to the king."
12
When Esther’s words were reported to Mordecai,
13
he sent back this answer: "Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape.
