“Humayo ka, tipunin mo ang lahat ng mga Judio na nasa Susan, at mag-ayuno kayo para sa akin; huwag kayong kumain at huwag kayong uminom nang tatlong araw, gabi at araw. Ako man at ang aking mga dalagang tagapaglingkod ay mag-aayuno rin nang gayon. At pagkatapos ay pupunta ako sa hari, bagaman labag ito sa batas; at kung ako ay mapapahamak, ako ay mapapahamak.”
Megillah
