11 And God changed the king's spirit into gentleness; quickly and apprehensively, he leapt from his throne, and lifting her up in his arms until she came to herself, he coaxed her with these words:
12 'What is the matter, Esther? I am your brother, do not be afraid.
13 You will not die. For this law has not been established for you, but for all others.
14 So approach and touch the scepter.'
15 And since she remained silent, he took the golden scepter and placed it on her neck, and he kissed her and said, 'Why do you not speak to me?'
