Mordecai sent back this answer. ‘Do not think that you, in the king’s palace, will be safer than all the other Jews. If you do not speak on behalf of the Jews at this time, help will come from another place. But you and your family will die. But perhaps you are queen for a time like this.’ Esther 4:13-14
末底改託人回覆以斯帖說：「你莫想在王宮裏強過一切猶大人，得免這禍。 此時你若閉口不言，猶大人必從別處得解脫，蒙拯救；你和你父家必致滅亡。焉知你得了王后的位分不是為現今的機會嗎？」 以斯帖記 4:13-14
