If I have found favor in the king’s sight and if the king is inclined to grant my request and perform my petition, let the king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet that I will prepare for them. At that time I will do as the king wishes.

But his wife said to him,“ If the LORD wanted to kill us, he would not have accepted the burnt offering and the grain offering from us. He would not have shown us all these things, or have spoken to us like this just now.”

All who were sitting in the council looked intently at Stephen and saw his face was like the face of an angel.

She exclaimed with a loud voice,“ Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child in your womb!And who am I that the mother of my Lord should come and visit me?For the instant the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.And blessed is she who believed that what was spoken to her by the Lord would be fulfilled.”And Mary said,“ My soul exalts the Lord,and my spirit has begun to rejoice in God my Savior,because he has looked upon the humble state of his servant. For from now on all generations will call me blessed,because he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name;from generation to generation he is merciful to those who fear him.He has demonstrated power with his arm; he has scattered those whose pride wells up from the sheer arrogance of their hearts.He has brought down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up those of lowly position;he has filled the hungry with good things, and has sent the rich away empty.He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercy,as he promised to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then returned to her home.

He began to speak out fearlessly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the way of God to him more accurately.

Queen Esther replied,“ If I have met with your approval, O king, and if the king is so inclined, grant me my life as my request, and my people as my petition.For we have been sold– both I and my people– to destruction and to slaughter and to annihilation! If we had simply been sold as male and female slaves, I would have remained silent, for such distress would not have been sufficient for troubling the king.”Then King Ahasuerus responded to Queen Esther,“ Who is this individual? Where is this person to be found who is presumptuous enough to act in this way?”Esther replied,“ The oppressor and enemy is this evil Haman!” Then Haman became terrified in the presence of the king and queen.

a wise woman called out from the city,“ Listen up! Listen up! Tell Joab,‘ Come near so that I may speak to you.’”When he approached her, the woman asked,“ Are you Joab?” He replied,“ I am.” She said to him,“ Listen to the words of your servant.” He said,“ Go ahead. I’m listening.”She said,“ In the past they would always say,‘ Let them inquire in Abel,’ and that is how they settled things.I represent the peaceful and the faithful in Israel. You are attempting to destroy an important city in Israel. Why should you swallow up the LORD’s inheritance?”Joab answered,“ Get serious! I don’t want to swallow up or destroy anything!That’s not the way things are. There is a man from the hill country of Ephraim named Sheba son of Bicri. He has rebelled against King David. Give me just this one man, and I will leave the city.” The woman said to Joab,“ This very minute his head will be thrown over the wall to you!”Then the woman went to all the people with her wise advice and they cut off Sheba’s head and threw it out to Joab. Joab blew the trumpet, and his men dispersed from the city, each going to his own home. Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.

Falling at his feet, she said,“ My lord, I accept all the guilt! But please let your female servant speak with my lord! Please listen to the words of your servant!My lord should not pay attention to this wicked man Nabal. He simply lives up to his name! His name means‘ fool,’ and he is indeed foolish! But I, your servant, did not see the servants my lord sent.“ Now, my lord, as surely as the LORD lives and as surely as you live, it is the LORD who has kept you from shedding blood and taking matters into your own hands. Now may your enemies and those who seek to harm my lord be like Nabal.Now let this present that your servant has brought to my lord be given to the servants who follow my lord.Please forgive the sin of your servant, for the LORD will certainly establish the house of my lord, because my lord fights the battles of the LORD. May no evil be found in you all your days!When someone sets out to chase you and to take your life, the life of my lord will be wrapped securely in the bag of the living by the LORD your God. But he will sling away the lives of your enemies from the sling’s pocket!The LORD will do for my lord everything that he promised you, and he will make you a leader over Israel.Your conscience will not be overwhelmed with guilt for having poured out innocent blood and for having taken matters into your own hands. When the LORD has granted my lord success, please remember your servant.”

She wept and begged him for mercy, that he might nullify the evil of Haman the Agagite which he had intended against the Jews.When the king extended to Esther the gold scepter, she arose and stood before the king.She said,“ If the king is so inclined and if I have met with his approval and if the matter is agreeable to the king and if I am attractive to him, let an edict be written rescinding those recorded intentions of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, which he wrote in order to destroy the Jews who are throughout all the king’s provinces.For how can I watch the calamity that will befall my people, and how can I watch the destruction of my relatives?”

and she said to them:“ This is what the LORD God of Israel says:‘ Say this to the man who sent you to me:“ This is what the LORD says:‘ I am about to bring disaster on this place and its residents, the details of which are recorded in the scroll which the king of Judah has read.This will happen because they have abandoned me and offered sacrifices to other gods, angering me with all the idols they have made. My anger will ignite against this place and will not be extinguished!’”Say this to the king of Judah, who sent you to seek an oracle from the LORD:“ This is what the LORD God of Israel says concerning the words you have heard:‘ You displayed a sensitive spirit and humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard how I intended to make this place and its residents into an appalling example of an accursed people. You tore your clothes and wept before me, and I have heard you,’ says the LORD.‘ Therefore I will allow you to die and be buried in peace. You will not have to witness all the disaster I will bring on this place.’”’” Then they reported back to the king.

When Esther’s female attendants and her eunuchs came and informed her about Mordecai’s behavior, the queen was overcome with anguish. Although she sent garments for Mordecai to put on so that he could remove his sackcloth, he would not accept them.

“ Drink, my lord,” she replied, and quickly lowering her jug to her hands, she gave him a drink.When she had done so, she said,“ I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have drunk as much as they want.”She quickly emptied her jug into the watering trough and ran back to the well to draw more water until she had drawn enough for all his camels.
