I am thy brother, be of good cheer: 10Thou shalt not die, though our commandment be general: come near. 11And so be held up his golden sceptre, and laid it upon her neck, 12And embraced her, and said, Speak unto me. 13Then said she unto him, I saw thee, my lord, as an angel of God, and my heart was troubled for fear of thy majesty. 14For wonderful art thou, lord, and thy countenance is full of grace. 15And as she was speaking, she fell down for faintness. 16Then the king was troubled, and all his servants comforted her. ‹Previous chapterGreek Additions to Esther 14Next chapterGreek Additions to Esther 16›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
