- કારણ કે અમે એટલે હું તથા મારા લોક, મારી નંખાવા માટે અને કતલ થઈ જવા માટે વેચાયાં છીએ જો અમને ફક્ત ગુલામ તથા ગુલામડીઓ તરીકે વેચી દેવામાં આવ્યાં હોત તો મેં કંઈ પણ માગ્યું ન હોત, પણ જે ખલેલ રાજાને થશે તેને સરખામણીમાં અમારું દુઃખ કંઈ વિસાતમાં નથી.”
- हिन्दी — एस्तेर ७:४
- क्योंकि मैं और मेरी जाति के लोग बेच डाले गए हैं, और हम सब घात और नाश किए जानेवाले हैं। यदि हम केवल दास-दासी हो जाने के लिये बेच डाले जाते, तो मैं चुप रहती; चाहे उस दशा में भी वह विरोधी राजा की हानि भर न सकता।”
