Löydetty 2131 Tulokset: Anointed Of The Lord
He also gave Hathach a copy of the written decree for their destruction, to show and explain to Esther. He further told him to urge her to go to the king to beg for mercy and intercede for her people: "Remember the days of your lowly estate when you were brought up in my charge. Haman, who is next to the king, has asked for our death. Pray to the Lord and speak to the king for us. Save us from death." (Esther 4, 8)
And my nation is Israel, my people, who cried to God and were saved. Yes, the Lord has saved his people and delivered us from all these evils. God has worked such signs and great wonders as have never occurred among the nations. (Esther 10, 9)
Recalling all that the Lord had done, he prayed to him and said: (Esther 13, 8)
Lord, King and Master of all, everything is under your power; no one can withstand you in your will to save Israel. (Esther 13, 9)
You are the Lord of all, no one can resist you, Lord. (Esther 13, 11)
You know all things, O Lord; you know that no insolence, no vainglory or arrogance prompted me to act thus, to refuse to bow down before the proud Haman. (Esther 13, 12)
But what I did, I did so as not to place human glory above the glory of God. I will not bow down to anyone except to you, O Lord. My refusal has not been out of pride. (Esther 13, 14)
And now, Lord God, King, God of Abraham, deliver your people! Our enemies plot our ruin; they are bent upon destroying the inheritance that was yours from the beginning. (Esther 13, 15)
Hear my supplication, have mercy on your inheritance. Turn our mourning into rejoicing, that we may live to sing praise to your name, O Lord. Do not silence the mouths of those who give you praise. (Esther 13, 17)
Seized with anguish in her fear of death, Queen Esther likewise had recourse to the Lord. (Esther 14, 1)
Then she prayed to the Lord God of Israel: (Esther 14, 3)
My Lord, you who stand alone, come to my help; I am alone and have no help but you. Through my own choice I am endangering my life. (Esther 14, 4)
