કેમ કે મારા લોકો પર જે વિપત્તિ આવી પડવાની છે તે મારાથી શી રીતે જોઈ શકાય? અથવા મારા સગાંનો નાશ મારાથી શી રીતે જોઈ શકાય?”

क्योंकि मैं अपने जाति के लोगों पर पड़नेवाली उस विपत्ति को किस रीति से देख सकूँगी? और मैं अपने भाइयों के विनाश को कैसे देख सकूँगी?”

In context

4Then the king held out to Esther the golden scepter. So Esther arose, and stood before the king.

5She said, “If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seems right to the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.

6For how can I endure to see the evil that would come to my people? How can I endure to see the destruction of my relatives?”

7Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, “See, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows because he laid his hand on the Jews.

8Write also to the Jews as it pleases you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring; for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may not be reversed by any man.”
