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 all the Jews who are found in Shushan, and fast for me, and do not eat nor drink three days, by night and by day; also I and my young women do fast likewise, and so I go in unto the king, that [is] not according to law, and when I have perished -- I have perished.
