Esther 4:1-3 When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry...
1: When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
2: And came even before the king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
3: And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
Esther 4:4-6 So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her- the queen exceedingly grieved -she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth-but he received it not...called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains...gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.
4: So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.
5: Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.
6: So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate.
Esther 4:7-8 Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.
7: And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.
8: Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.
Esther 4:9-12 Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai..whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre.. but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
9: And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai...Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai...
10: Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai;
11: All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into
the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
12: And they told to Mordecai Esther's words.
Esther 4:13-14 Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews...
13: Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.
14: For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
Esther 4:15-17 Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer...gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days...I also and my maidens will fast ... I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish...
15: Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer,
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.
17: So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
The Book of Esther, also known in Hebrew as "the Scroll" (Megillah), is a book in the third section (Ketuvim, "Writings") of the Jewish Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible) and in the Christian Old Testament. It relates the story of a Hebrew girl in Persia, born as Hadassah but known as Esther, who becomes queen of Persia and thwarts a genocide of her people. The story forms the core of the Jewish festival of Purim, during which it is read aloud twice: once in the evening and again the following morning. Esther is the only book in the Bible that does not explicitly mention God.

Mordecai bowed not...

Esther 3:4-6 ... he hearkened not unto them- for he had told them that he was a Jew...
when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not...then was Haman full of wrath -
he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai-
Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
Esther 3:7 In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur...
Esther 3:8-11 Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people ... in all the provinces of thy kingdom-

let it be written that they may be destroyed...
the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman ...the Jews' enemy...
the king said... The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.
