Esther 4:12
"“All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that whoever, whether man or woman, comes to the king into the inner court without being called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king might hold out the golden scepter, that he may live. I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days.”"
Key Reflection
This passage underscores the severity of the court's rules and the high stakes faced by those who breach them, highlighting Esther’s precarious position as she considers approaching the king unbidden. Her declaration also emphasizes her awareness of the risk and her need for divine intervention to avoid the penalty of death.
