אֶסְתֵּר ד:יד

כִּי אִם-הַחֲרֵשׁ תַּחֲרִישִׁי, בָּעֵת הַזֹּאת--רֶוַח

וְהַצָּלָה יַעֲמוֹד לַיְּהוּדִים מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר, וְאַתְּ וּבֵית-

אָבִיךְ תֹּאבֵדוּ; וּמִי יוֹדֵעַ--אִם-לְעֵת כָּזֹאת, הִגַּעַתְּ

לַמַּלְכוּת.

For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time,
then shall relief and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place;
but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed:
and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom
for such a time as this?
