16 "Eik ir sušauk visus žydus Sūzuose; pasninkaukite dėl manęs tris dienas ir tris naktis, nieko nevalgykite ir negerkite. Aš taip pat pasninkausiu su savo tarnaitėmis. Po to eisiu pas karalių, laužydama įstatymą; jei žūsiu, tai žūsiu".

16 "Go, gather together all the Jews who are present in Susa, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day. I and my maidens will also fast the same way. Then I will go in to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish."
