16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

16 Jdi a shromažď všecky Židy, což jest jich v Susan, a posťte se za mne, a nejezte ani píte za tři dni, v noci ani ve dne. Já podobně, i panny mé postiti se budou, a teprv vejdu k králi, což však neobyčejné jest, a jestližeť zahynu, nechť zahynu.
