Esther

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.

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, I perish.

Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.

Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
