1 H4782 When Mordecai H3045 perceived H3605 all H6213 that was done, H4782 Mordecai H7167 rent H899 his clothes, H3847 and put H8242 on sackcloth H665 with ashes, H3318 and went H8432 out into the middle H5892 of the city, H2199 and cried H1419 with a loud H4751 and a bitter H2201 cry;

2 H935 And came H5704 even H6440 before H4428 the king’s H8179 gate: H369 for none H935 might enter H413 into H4428 the king’s H8179 gate H3830 clothed H8242 with sackcloth.

3 H3605 And in every H4082 province, H4725 wherever H834 H4428 the king’s H1697 commandment H1881 and his decree H5060 came, H1419 there was great H60 mourning H3064 among the Jews, H6685 and fasting, H1065 and weeping, H4553 and wailing; H7227 and many H3331 lay H8242 in sackcloth H665 and ashes.

4 H635 So Esther’s H5291 maids H5631 and her chamberlains H935 came H5046 and told H4436 it her.
