- Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.
O Lord, all my longing is before you;
my sighing is not hidden from you. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.Next verse!With image
