11 It is common knowledge among all the king's servants and the people of every part of the kingdom, that if anyone, man or woman, comes to the king in his inner room without being sent for, there is only one law for him, that he is to be put to death; only those to whom the king's rod of gold is stretched out may keep their lives: but I have not been sent for to come before the king these thirty days.

11 "王所有的臣仆和各省的人民, 都知道有一条法令: 无论男女, 没有奉召就擅入内院去见王的, 除非王向他伸出金杖, 赐他免死, 一律要处以死刑。现在我没有奉召进去见王已经三十天了。"
