But his wife said to him,“ If the LORD had intended to kill us, he wouldn’t have accepted the burnt offering and the grain offering from us, and he would not have shown us all these things or spoken to us like this.”

And all who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at him and saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

Then she exclaimed with a loud cry,“ Blessed are you among women, and your child will be blessed!How could this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?For you see, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped for joy inside me.Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill what he has spoken to her!”And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord,and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,because he has looked with favor on the humble condition of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed,because the Mighty One has done great things for me, and his name is holy.His mercy is from generation to generation on those who fear him.He has done a mighty deed with his arm; he has scattered the proud because of the thoughts of their hearts;he has toppled the mighty from their thrones and exalted the lowly.He has satisfied the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty.He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercyto Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he spoke to our ancestors.And Mary stayed with her about three months; then she returned to her home.

He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. After Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained the way of God to him more accurately.

Queen Esther answered,“ If I have found favor with you, Your Majesty, and if the king is pleased, spare my life; this is my request. And spare my people; this is my desire.For my people and I have been sold to destruction, death, and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept silent. Indeed, the trouble wouldn’t be worth burdening the king.”King Ahasuerus spoke up and asked Queen Esther,“ Who is this, and where is the one who would devise such a scheme?”Esther answered,“ The adversary and enemy is this evil Haman.” Haman stood terrified before the king and queen.

In the same way, wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, even if some disobey the word, they may be won over without a word by the way their wives live

a wise woman called out from the city,“ Listen! Listen! Please tell Joab to come here and let me speak with him.”When he had come near her, the woman asked,“ Are you Joab?”“ I am,” he replied.“ Listen to the words of your servant,” she said to him. He answered,“ I’m listening.”She said,“ In the past they used to say,‘ Seek counsel in Abel,’ and that’s how they settled disputes.I am one of the peaceful and faithful in Israel, but you’re trying to destroy a city that is like a mother in Israel. Why would you devour the LORD’s inheritance?”Joab protested:“ Never! I would never devour or demolish!That is not the case. There is a man named Sheba son of Bichri, from the hill country of Ephraim, who has rebelled against King David. Deliver this one man, and I will withdraw from the city.” The woman replied to Joab,“ Watch! His head will be thrown over the wall to you.”The woman went to all the people with her wise counsel, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri and threw it to Joab. So he blew the ram’s horn, and they dispersed from the city, each to his own tent. Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.

She knelt at his feet and said,“ The guilt is mine, my lord, but please let your servant speak to you directly. Listen to the words of your servant.My lord should pay no attention to this worthless fool Nabal, for he lives up to his name: His name means‘ stupid,’ and stupidity is all he knows. I, your servant, didn’t see my lord’s young men whom you sent.Now my lord, as surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live— it is the LORD who kept you from participating in bloodshed and avenging yourself by your own hand— may your enemies and those who intend to harm my lord be like Nabal.Let this gift your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow my lord.Please forgive your servant’s offense, for the LORD is certain to make a lasting dynasty for my lord because he fights the LORD’s battles. Throughout your life, may evil not be found in you.“ Someone is pursuing you and intends to take your life. My lord’s life is tucked safely in the place where the LORD your God protects the living, but he is flinging away your enemies’ lives like stones from a sling.When the LORD does for my lord all the good he promised you and appoints you ruler over Israel,there will not be remorse or a troubled conscience for my lord because of needless bloodshed or my lord’s revenge. And when the LORD does good things for my lord, may you remember me your servant.”

My dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the crevices of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.

Then Esther addressed the king again. She fell at his feet, wept, and begged him to revoke the evil of Haman the Agagite and his plot he had devised against the Jews.The king extended the gold scepter toward Esther, so she got up and stood before the king.She said,“ If it pleases the king and I have found favor with him, if the matter seems right to the king and I am pleasing in his eyes, let a royal edict be written. Let it revoke the documents the scheming Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.For how could I bear to see the disaster that would come on my people? How could I bear to see the destruction of my relatives?”

She said to them,“ This is what the LORD God of Israel says: Say to the man who sent you to me,‘ This is what the LORD says: I am about to bring disaster on this place and on its inhabitants, fulfilling all the words of the book that the king of Judah has read,because they have abandoned me and burned incense to other gods in order to anger me with all the work of their hands. My wrath will be kindled against this place, and it will not be quenched.’Say this to the king of Judah who sent you to inquire of the LORD:‘ This is what the LORD God of Israel says: As for the words that you heard,because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and because you have torn your clothes and wept before me, I myself have heard’— this is the LORD’s declaration.‘ Therefore, I will indeed gather you to your ancestors, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the disaster that I am bringing on this place.’” Then they reported to the king.

Esther’s female servants and her eunuchs came and reported the news to her, and the queen was overcome with fear. She sent clothes for Mordecai to wear so that he would take off his sackcloth, but he did not accept them.

She replied,“ Drink, my lord.” She quickly lowered her jug to her hand and gave him a drink.When she had finished giving him a drink, she said,“ I’ll also draw water for your camels until they have had enough to drink.”She quickly emptied her jug into the trough and hurried to the well again to draw water. She drew water for all his camels
