There was great lamentation on the part of all the Jews in Shushan and throughout the land. Putting on sackcloth, Mordecai sat without the King's gate. This circumstance was reported to Esther.

She feared to hazard her life even in this noble cause; but Mordecai assured her that her life would be forfeited with the lives of her people if the decree was executed.
