אסתר 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:
Esther 4:14
For if you stay silent at this time, then relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish; and who knows if you have come to royalty for such a time as this?
